Binding: Hardcover Book Description:
This is the first book into address all aspects of the biology of autoantibodies in a single volume, including a discussion of immunology, experimental models, clinical aspects, & the use of autoantibodies as probes in molecular & cellular biology.
The editor, currently professor at the W.M. Keck Autoimmune Disease Center of The Scripps Research Institute, has assembled an all-star team of authors into report on the latest research, technologies, & applications. Following an introductory chapter, the book goes on into cover such topics as cellular mechanisms of autoantibody production, clinical & diagnostic usefulness in human disease, & animal models used into study the elicitation of autoantibodies. The whole is rounded off with a look at future perspectives.
With its complete coverage, this volume will appeal never only into immunologists & clinicians but also into cell & molecular biologists.
