Blood and Tissue Antigens documents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Blood and Tissue Antigens held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on September 17-19, 1969. This book focuses on the immunogenetic and biochemical aspects of the blood and tissue antigens. The topics discussed include the genetics of blood groups; blood groups and serum phosphatase; immunogenetics of the mouse H-2 system; and glycolipids as membrane antigens. The carbohydrate composition of epithelial mucins; glycolipids in SV40 and polyoma virus transformed mouse cell lines; and metabolic variations of serum proteins and enzymes are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the action of glycosidases on erythrocytes; blood group specific oligosaccharides in urine; biosynthesis of submaxillary mucins; and genes, glycosyltransferases, and blood types. This publication is a good source for students and individuals researching on blood and tissue antigens.

Aerobiology documents the proceedings of the Third International Symposium held at the University of Sussex, England, in September 1969. The book is organized into three chapters that correspond to the three sessions held during the symposium. These three sessions dealt with themes of airborne infections in closed and segregated environments; the value and use of germ-free environments; and physiological and genetic factors in host resistance. Examples of the contributions during these sessions included studies on the transmission of meningococci among Army recruits; the transfer and acquisition of micro-organisms between and by patients nursed in a uni-directionally ventilated environment and those in an open ward; and the association between blood group status and susceptibility to certain virus infections. The symposium also included seminars that focused on the following themes: intramural spread of infection; laboratory safety; the immunological aspects of pathogenesis; vaccines and vaccination methods; microbial survival in air; rapid diagnosis; techniques in aerobiology; and the ways in which airborne particles cause infection.

A History of Medical Bacteriology and Immunology provides the account of the history of bacteriology from the year 1900 to 1938. This book presents details about the discovery of the important pathogenic bacteria of man, of how they were shown to be causally related to disease, and of the use of these discoveries in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Other topics discussed include the development of the germ theory of infectious diseases; contribution of Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch to medical bacteriology; and discovery of the more important human pathogenic bacteria. This text also discusses the scientific basis and practical application of immunology to medicine; main developments in bacteriology during the early 20th century; and chemotherapy of bacterial disease. This medically oriented text is beneficial for students and individuals conducting study on medical bacteriology and immunology.

Basic Immunology focuses on substances that take part in serological reactions, including antigens, antibodies, and the physicochemical nature of immunological reactions. The selection first elaborates on the basic notions of immunity, antigens, immunoglobulins, and the production of antibody. Discussions focus on factors which increase the immune response, production of antibody, biological properties of immunoglobulins, evolution and control of immunoglobulin structure, antigenicity, specific immunity, and resistance. The text then takes a look at the complement system, antigen-antibody reactions, and immediate hypersensitivity. The book ponders on cell-mediated immunity and delayed hypersensitivity, transplantation immunology, and tumor immunology. Topics include production of immunity to neoplasms, immunological aspects of carcinogenesis and growth of established tumors, immunotherapy for experimental neoplasms, donor selection in human-organ transplantation, elicitation of delayed hypersensitivity, and the role of humoral factors in the transfer of delayed hypersensitivity. The selection is a valuable reference for medicine students and researchers interested in basic immunology.

Tumor Specific Transplantation Antigen reviews the theories, methods, and experimental findings in the field of immunobiology of tumors with particular focus on the tumor antigen responsible for transplantation resistance. The monograph presents discussions on the methods of induction of antitumor immunity; methods of detection of antitumor immunity; virus-induced tumors; the characteristics of TSTA; tumor growth and development of immunity; and the theoretical and practical possibilities of the presence of transplantation immunity against tumors in man. Oncologists, cell biologists, immunobiologists, and medical researchers will find the book invaluable.

Immunological Tolerance: A Reassessment of Mechanisms of the Immune Response presents the basic biological phenomena of immunological tolerance. This book discusses immunology as a critical field for the analysis of molecular features of mammalian cell genetics, biosynthesis, differentiation, and interactions among cell types. Organized into six chapters, this book begins with an overview of the relationship between antigen structure and its ability to induce tolerance. This text then examines the essentiality of antigen for the proliferation of activated antibody-forming clones and discusses the role of antibody in homeostasis and suppression. Other chapters consider the restoration and transfer of immunological responsiveness by thoracic duct lymphocytes. This book discusses as well the distribution of antigen in tissues and cells. The final chapter deals with the origin of carrier antibody and the significance of maternal transfer of antibodies and antigens. This book is a valuable resource for immunologists, microbiologists, scientists, and clinicians.
