Description for Specialization and Complementation of Humoral Immune Responses to Infection
Hardback. In recent years, data from of many areas of research have resulted in a new and more complete understanding of how antibody-mediated resistance to pathogens is elaborated. The contributors highlight this new perspective on antibody responses to infection, as well as conveying its practical implications, eg for contemporary vaccine design. Series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology. Num Pages: 174 pages, 3 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MJCJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 12. Weight in Grams: 432.
The importance of specific antibodies for the clearance of and long-term resistance to many infectious pathogens has long been appreciated. Moreover, the role in these processes of the different antibody heavy chain isotypes, each tailored to induce diverse effector pathways such as those mediated by complement and Fc receptors and to promote antibody localization in distinct regions of the body, is well established. Insights into the molecular mechanism of isotype class switching showed that during an immune response B cells could change the heavy chain of the antibody they produced, without influencing the structure and specificity of the antigen-binding variable ...
