Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a thorough overview of the fundamental elements of the human allergic immune response, this up-to-date reference focuses on the unique molecular and cellular features of the IgE-mediated immune response-relating these features to current knowledge of the immune response to protein antigens. Written by over 20 internationally renowned experts, Molecular and Cellular Biology of the Allergic Response describes T- and B-cell development and activation examines important genetic and structural features of the major histocompatibility complex details antigen processing and presentation explores the molecular and cellular biology of mast cells and basophils analyzes the processes underlying the synthesis of IgE in humans explains the cellular components and soluble factors that mediate IgE inflammation investigates the molecular characterization and immune recognition of allergenic peptides and more!
