Part of the prestigious Novartis Foundation series, this volume
uniquely addresses the use of innate immunity to treat or prevent
infectious diseases of the lung.
Innate Immunity to Pulmonary Infection:
* Provides a comprehensive overview of pulmonary infectious
diseases, including basic pathology, current and potential
therapies, and detailed consideration of the innate biological
resistance mechanisms in the lung
* Thoroughly examines the major topic of innate immunity in
immunology, which is now seen as key to the pathogenesis of and
vaccination strategies for infectious diseases
* Describes the genetic and environmental factors which determine
the outcome of infection, such as latency of Tuberculosis, blood
stream invasion from local infection, and local target tissue
damage
* Covers the roles of cells such as neutrophils, macrophages and
dendritic cells and of molecular components such as Toll-like
receptors
* Discusses the clinical applications of the new knowledge
regarding innate immunity and how this can be used in both
treatment and prevention (vaccination) strategies
* Includes contributions from an international and
interdisciplinary group of experts
Innate Immunity to Pulmonary Infection is an
essential resource for researchers in both industry and academia.
It is of interest for all those interested in the disciplines of
immunology, virology, biology, biotechnology and genetics.
