Produktbeschreibung
Working at The Scripps Research Institute, the editor has gathered an all-star team of authors for this first handbook to address all aspects of the topic in a single volume, bridging the gap between cellular mechanisms of autoantibody production and biomedical treatments.
This is the first book to address all aspects of the biology of autoantibodies in a single volume, including a discussion of immunology, experimental models, clinical aspects, and the use of autoantibodies as probes in molecular and 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 to report on the latest research, technologies, and applications. Following an introductory chapter, the book goes on to cover such topics as cellular mechanisms of autoantibody production, clinical and diagnostic usefulness in human disease, and animal models used to study the elicitation of autoantibodies. The whole is rounded off with a look at future perspectives. With its comprehensive coverage, this volume will appeal not only to immunologists and clinicians but also to cell and molecular biologists.

Rezensionen
"Die druchtechnischen Arbeiten sind sauber ausgeführt." (BDI aktuell)

"Pollard ist gelungen, eine Gruppe hochrangiger Forscher aus der ganzen Welt dazu zu bringen, ein umfassendes Bild über die Biologie der Autoantikörper zu generieren. ... Es ist erstaunlich, wieviel Wissen die Autoren zu dem Thema zusammengetragen haben und wieviel doch am Phänomen der Autoimmunität nach wie vor unklar bleibt. Auf jeden Fall ist es dem Herausgeber und seinen Coautoren gelungen, ein sehr spannendes Buch über die Autoantikörper und Autoimmunität zu verfassen." (Pharmazie in unserer Zeit)

"Das vorliegende Buch ist nicht zuletzt auch aufgrund seines Umfanges ein Nachschlagewerk für Experten und Studierende." (Umwelt & Gesundheit)
