Description
A review of the innate immune system, utilizing the concepts of cellular and molecular biology. Covers all aspects of innate immunity with an emphasis on response to infectious agents. Focuses on evolutionary aspects, describing the major cells, humoral factors, receptors, and effector responses central to innate immunity and its important relation to acquired immunity. Includes in-depth treatment of the performance of the innate immune system in various situations, including bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infection. Serves as a valuable reference source for scientists and students active in all areas of immunology and microbiology, as well as virology, parasitology, and infectious diseases.
