An understanding of the immune system is central to the understanding ofhow the body interacts with its surroundings, and how it both protects itselfand responds to infectious disease. But what processes underpin the body'sresponse to infection? How does our immune system remember its previousencounters? And what happens when the tight regulation of the immune systemfails?Immunity: The Immune Response to Infection presents an engaging insight into oneof the most intricate yet conceptually challenging biological systems. With aunique emphasis on the immune response to infection, it presents the immunesystem as a dynamic interface with the outside world.Building up a complete picture of the subject, the book leads the studentthrough both innate and adaptive immunity, how infection is detected, and howthe cells of the immune system interact to generate a response, before examiningthe immune response to bacterial, viral, and fungal and parasitic infections.Finally, the book explores the relationship between the regulation of the immuneresponse and immunological diseases - how the immune system is controlled, andthe implications for our health when this control is lost - and immune memoryand the development of vaccines.Immunity combines articulate prose with striking full colour illustrations,while the unique Primers in Biology modular structure integrates text,illustrations, definitions, and literature references for each topic into onedouble-page spread, bringing to the student's fingertips all the tools that theyneed to master that topic.The immune system is one of the most challenging yet rewarding biologicalsystems to comprehend; Immunity: The Immune Response to Infection is the idealresource for any student wishing to develop a sound grasp of this fascinatingsubject.Online Resource CentreThe Online Resource Centre features:For lecturersFigures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture preparationFor studentsInteractive self-assessment questions for each section of the book.… (mer)
