A Historical Perspective on Evidence-Based Immunology focuses on the results of hypothesis-driven, controlled scientific experiments that have led to current understanding of immunological principles. This book helps beginning students in biomedical disciplines to understand the basis of immunologic knowledge and more advanced students to gain further insight. It also serves as a crucial reference for researchers studying the evolution of ideas and scientific methods.

A Historical Perspective on Evidence-Based Immunology focuses on the results of hypothesis-driven, controlled scientific experiments that have led to current understanding of immunological principles. This book helps beginning students in biomedical disciplines to understand the basis of immunologic knowledge and more advanced students to gain further insight. It also serves as a crucial reference for researchers studying the evolution of ideas and scientific methods. Among the fundamental insights covered in the book are: * Immunologic tolerance * Interactions of lymphocytes with antigen - TCR and BCR * Generation of diversity and mechanism of tolerance of T cells and B cells * The first cytokines * The concept of autoimmunity * Identification of NK cells as a unique cell type * The structure of antibody molecules and identification of Fab and Fc regions * Dendritic cells
Professor Edward J. Moticka, is a full professor Immunology and Microbiology at the A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine, Mesa, AZ. He has taught immunology to medical and graduate student for more than 40 years. Currently he is responsible for all the immunology didactic teaching for first and second year medical students at the School of Osteopathic Medicine. He has been a member of the American Association of Immunologists since 1976, and an Adjunct Professor in the Biodesign Institute and the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University since 2005. In addition to teaching and research, Dr. Moticka is an expert in the area of research management including research compliance issues relating to human and animal subjects protection and technology transfer
