Description
Delivers a state-of-the-art review of the innate immune system, utilizing the most current concepts of cellular and molecular biology. The book 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. In-depth treatment is given to the performance of the innate immune system in various situations, including bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infection.
First Sentence
The foundations of the present concepts of innate and adaptive immunity were established during the latter decades of the 19th century when Metchnikoff (1905) observed phagocytosis in an echinoderm and in an arthropod and Ehrlich (1900) was carrying out pioneering studies on the properties of the specific serum molecules called antibodies.
