Immunology

Mucosal and Body Surface Defences

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ein innovativer, realitätsnaher Ansatz, der manche Überraschung bereithält: Dieses Lehrbuch der Immunologie stellt spezifische Immunreaktionen in unterschiedlichen Regionen des Organismus in den Mittelpunkt und zeigt, dass nicht alle Bereiche des Körpers in gleicher Weise reagieren. Systematisch werden die immunologischen Ereignisse vom Eindringen des Antigens bis zu seiner schließlichen Vernichtung durch das Immunsystem verfolgt.
