The understanding, at the molecular
level, of the interactions between innate and adaptive arms of the
immune system is currently a hot topic, particularly to those interested
in immunology – especially susceptibility to infectious diseases. This
book provides a survey of topics, in the area of innate and adaptive
immunity, which have been researched within the MRC Immunochemistry
Unit, at Oxford University, over a period of forty years. The topics
include: ” antibody structure – for which the first Director of the
Immunochemistry Unit, Professor RR Porter, was awarded a Nobel prize in
1972 ” the characterization of membrane proteins on lymphoid cells –
leading to the concept of these molecules belonging to an immunoglobulin
super family ” the proteins of the human serum complement system – one
of the body’s major defences against microbial infection ” the human
cell -surface integrins and the hyaluronan- binding proteins, which are
involved in regulation of inflammation at cell surfaces and within the
extracellular matrix ” the family of collectin molecules – containing
distinct globular carbohydrate -binding domains linked to collagen-like
regions – which play important roles in innate immunity in the lungs and
bloodstream by immediate recognition and clearance of microbial
pathogens Each chapter in the book gives a brief historical background
to a topic and then provides a survey of recent advances in the field
and are written by internationally recognised renowned experts. The
theme running through the chapters is that of protein structure-function
relationships – including, amongst others, descriptions of quaternary
structures of large oligomeric proteins, of Factor H and C1q binding to
specific ligands, and of the chemistry of the mechanism of catalysis of
covalent binding of activated C3 and C4 proteins to nucleophilic groups
on microbial surfaces. In several chapters excellent descriptions are
given with respect to how the immune system can be recruited to combat
microbial infection – via proteins of both the innate and adaptive
immune systems. The book also includes notable chapters which are
excellent examples of the importance of how the isolation,
characterisation, protein engineering and crystallisation has resulted
in a full understanding of complex protein-protein interactions involved
in the recognition and triggering events of important sections of the
immune system: -Structure and Function of the C1 Complex – GÚrard J.
Arlaud -Chemical Engineering of Therapeutic Antibodies – George T
Stevenson -Leukocyte surface proteins – purification and
characterisation – A. Neil Barclay -Cell Surface Integrins – Suet-Mien
Tan and S.K. Alex Law This book is aimed primarily at established senior
research scientists, postdoctoral research scientists and PhD students
who have an interest in proteins of the immune system. However, the wide
range of immunity system topics, while staying broadly within
innate/adaptive immunity will also appeal to a wider audience.

I want to share with you all on how Dr Itua saves my life with his powerful Herbal medicines, I was diagnosed of Oral/Ovarian Cancer which i suffered from for 5 years with no positive treatment until when My son came to me in the hospital when i was laying down on my dying bed waiting for god to call out my name to join him in heaven.
ReplyDeleteMy son was so excited that very day he came across Dr Itua on Blogspot, we decided to give him a try although we Americans are so scared to trust Africans but i really have no choice that time to choose life in between so we gave a try to Dr Itua Herbal medicines, god willing he was a good man with a god gift. Dr Itua sent us the herbal medicine. It was three bottles. I take it for a three weeks instructor and these herbal medicines heal me, cure my Oral/Ovarian Cancer completely. I have been living for 9 months now with a healthy life with no more symptoms.
I'm sponsoring Dr Itua in LA Advert on Cancer patent seminar which my son will be participating too and other patent Dr Itua has cured from all kind of human disease, also if you are sick from disease like,Epilepsy,Breast Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Throat cancer,Thyroid Cancer,Uterine cancer,Fibroid,Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Brain cancer,Hiv,.
