Product Description
Until recently innate immunity was viewed as the poorer cousin of the sophisticated adaptive immune response. We now know however that these ?higher? immune responses are actually underpinned by an elegantly hewn system of innate immune surveillance. Discovered first by Developmental Biologists, again by Immunologists, and even by Sociologists, Toll receptors have revolutionised our understanding of innate immunology. Although a small part of a complex system, Toll receptor biology compels us to revisit existing models of self ? non-self recognition. Toll and Toll Like Recptors is an eclectic collection of essays, spaning academia and industry. This volume illustrates how Toll and the Toll-like receptors work and the consequences for us all when they fail. It looks at Toll structures, what they recognise, and what they ?might? recognise. This exiting book will be of interest to academics and practitioners in industry, as well as to post graduate sutdents in immunology. |
