Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections provides coverage on the role and mode of possible impact of cytokines on disease pathogenesis and host immune response. Cytokines, as a part of innate immunity, favor the development of antiviral and TH 1-type immune responses. Cytokines also affect the adaptive immune response and disease manifestation. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to clinical manifestations of viral and infectious diseases, explains the role cytokines in DNA virus infections, RNA virus infections, and in reverse transcribing virus infections, and gives insights into recent advances and strategies in diagnostic tools and therapeutic and prophylactic measures.This book is a milestone to understanding the immunological response against various viral infections for both researchers in immunology and virology, as well as for those in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

Handbook of Food Allergen Detection and Control, Second Edition continues to be an essential resource of scientific and technical information in the food and analytical communities. This book provides information on current and emerging technologies for detecting and reducing allergens to improve allergen control overall. Written by experts in the field, it offers a wide scientific perspective on allergens and includes hot topics such as food allergen labeling and consumer perspectives on food allergen labels. Chapters are fully revised to include the latest information in the industry, including practical applications of new methods and control strategies. The book is useful for anyone in the food supply chain.The book reviews current and emerging technologies for detecting and reducing allergens, as well as issues such as traceability, regulation, and consumer attitudes. Following an introductory chapter by a distinguished expert, Part One covers allergen management throughout the food chain. Part Two details current and emerging methods of allergen detection in food, with Part Three covering methods for reducing and eliminating allergens in food. Finally, Part Four focuses on the control and detection of individual food allergens and the risks each one presents in food manufacturing.

Role of Medicinal Plants in Autoimmune Diseases: Concepts, Perspectives, and Utilization provides comprehensive knowledge of autoimmune diseases and the role of various medicinal plant products in their treatment. The book discusses the immune system as a group of complex biological structures and processes in an organism which gives protection against a wide range of pathogenic organisms while simultaneously distinguishing these pathogens from the organism’s own healthy cells and tissues, thus maintaining homeostasis in the body.It has been an age-old practice to use extracts and other parts of various plants in treating many diseases. Several plants contain various pharmacologically active substances which can be used to treat different diseases. Among these medicinal plants, many have shown good immunomodulatory properties and could act as natural immunosuppressant agents in treating autoimmune disorders.

Microbes, Microbial Metabolism and Mucosal Immunity: An Overview presents a concise and well-vetted treatise on the study of microbiome and microbial metabolites. This volume is up-to-date with the most recent developments from the last decade. It encompasses the interaction of immunity and microbes — and their metabolites — from different mucosal organs including eye, skin, gastrointestinal system, lung, intestine, and cervix. Along with the efficiency of the immune system in inhibiting the growth and proliferation of microbes, the volume discusses how the mediators of the immune system can be targeted to develop therapies.This book presents the latest methods, gives broad and systematic coverage of most mucosal systems and diseases, and takes a fresh perspective that looks at the functional aspects of change in the microbiome. The study of microbiome and microbial metabolites and their roles in host mucosal immunology is a rapidly developing area of research. One major way in which the microbiome influences the host is through altered metabolism. Metabolites, readily available to the host, engender significant consequences. Microbial metabolites have been shown to impact the disease processes in both proximal and distal organs, including the brain in several neurocognitive disorders.
