Description
Summary:This volume deals with various aspects of the intricate relation of bacterial and parasitic pathogens with the immune system. It provides new insights into how the immune system succeeds to eradicate its predators and how it can fail. Chapters in this book summarize novel information about the role of helper T-cell subsets and cytolytic T cells in antimicrobial immunity and the possible relation between anti-infectious and autoimmune responses, and discuss the most recent approaches to the definition of T-cell epitopes and to the construction of recombinant carriers. Both experimental systems and theoretical considerations related to these topics are covered.
