Description for Protective and Pathological Immune Responses in the CNS
Hardback. Offers an understanding of the complexity of interactions between pathogens, CNS resident cells of different types, infiltrating immune/inflammatory cells, and the factors they produce. This book shows the common features of the innate immune response to most CNS insults. Editor(s): Dietzschold, Bernhard; Richt, Jurgen A. Series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology. Num Pages: 289 pages, 51 black & white illustrations, 4 colour illustrations, 11 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: MJCM; MJN.

In spite of the protection of the CNS there are situations where immune responses occur due to different disease processes. While antigen-specific cells of the adaptive immune response are not normally functional in the CNS tissue, CNS resident cells respond to infection or insult. One mechanisms is through the induction of apoptosis in virus infected neurons, which may be protective or pathogenic depending on the extent of cell death.
