Immunoglobulin Genes


Book Description

Immunoglobin Genes is the first comprehensive book on the structure, function, and expression of the genes encoding antibodies in normal and neoplastic cells.




Janeway's Immunobiology


Book Description

The Janeway's Immunobiology CD-ROM, Immunobiology Interactive, is included with each book, and can be purchased separately. It contains animations and videos with voiceover narration, as well as the figures from the text for presentation purposes.




The Immunoglobulin FactsBook


Book Description

The FactsBook series has established itself as the best source of easily accessible and accurate facts about protein groups. Books in the series use an easy-to-follow format and are meticulously researched and compiled by experts in the field.The Immunoglobulin FactsBook is the first published reference for all 203 human functional and ORF immunoglobulin genes. It is complete and standardized and employs nomenclature approved by the HUGO Nomenclature Committee.




Comparative Immunoglobulin Genetics


Book Description

This contemporary book covers significant new knowledge that has emerged during the last two decades and, thus, provides novel antibody phylogenetic perspectives relevant to development of new antibody-based therapeutics and vaccines. It fills a much-needed niche in the area of immunoglobulin genetics across species from a comparative perspective.




Molecular Genetics of Immunoglobulin


Book Description

Our understanding of the molecular genetics of immunoglobulins has been enormously advanced by the application of recombinant DNA technology. This new volume in the popular series New Comprehensive Biochemistry contains eight chapters that draw together reviews summarising the research into immunoglobulins and the arrangement, rearrangement and expression of their gene structure.Molecular Genetics of Immunoglobulin will be of particular importance to those working in the areas of genetics and molecular biology, immunology, and cell biology.




The Generation of Diversity


Book Description

This book is an intellectual history of the major theoretical problem in immunology and its resolution in the post-World War II period. In recent years immunology has been one of the most exciting--and successful--fields of biomedical research; this book provides essential background for understanding the conceptual conflicts occurring in the field.




Immunoglobulin Gene Expression in Development and Disease


Book Description

The mechanisms underlying human immunoglobulin variable gene expression are poorly understood. For instance, certain immunoglobulin variable gene segments are preferentially used both during early development and in various autoimmune disorders and B-cell neoplasms. This volume addresses topics - such as human immunoglobulin gene organisation, rearrangement, transcription and somatic mutation, and B-cell and immunoglobulin gene repertoire development - selected for their relevance to the interpretation of the multitude of human immunoglobulin gene studies in the normal B-cell repertoire and in various B-cell disorders.







The T Cell Receptor FactsBook


Book Description

The T Cell Receptor FactsBook contains entries on all the 176 functional variable, diversity, joining, and constant regions of the human T cell receptor, including alpha, beta, gamma, and delta loci. Introductory chapters summarize information of T cell receptor chain synthesis, chromosomal location, and an overview of the human T cell receptor loci.
