Handbook of ELISPOT
In this first book dedicated entirely to the ELISPOT, a critical enzyme-linked immunospot assay used widely in biomedical research, recognized experts with first-hand experience detail how to design, perform, and analyze these assays. The readily reproducible techniques they provide cover a wide variety of topics, including the use of membrane-backed plates, the standardization and validation procedures, the removal of cells from ELISPOT plates, cell separation techniques, and the quantification of ELISPOT data. There are also numerous ELISPOT applications involving animal models, human cells, measles, multiple sclerosis, immune responses, multicytokine detection systems, and immunocytochemistry. Highlights include dual-color and multiplex ELISPOT assays, use of the ELISPOT assay on feline lymphocytes, standardization of the ELISPOT procedure, and combining the ELISPOT assay with immunohistochemistry.
ELISA and Other Solid Phase Immunoassays
This is a quick-reference manual on practical aspects of immunoassay. Providing a theoretical and practical basis for modern applications of solid-phase immunoassays, this text brings together experts who have used ELISA and other assays in a variety of fields. Contributors offer step-by-step guidance on how to use the various techniques involved in immunoassay. These techniques are extemely useful to laboratory-based researchers and technicians working on the detection of allergy, the AIDS virus, autoimmunity, etc. Chapters analyze the solid-phase supports used, the amplification systems, and the quantitation and affinity of antibodies and discuss the applications of assays to biology, immunology, and microbiology.

Immunopotentiators in Modern Vaccines
Immunopotentiators in Modern Vaccines provides an in-depth insight and overview of a number of most promising immunopotentiators in modern vaccines. In contrast to existing books on the subject it provides recent data on the critical mechanisms governing the activity of vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems. Knowledge of immunological pathways and scenarios of the cells and molecules involved is described and depicted in comprehensive illustrations. - Contributions from leading international authorities in the field - Well-illustrated, informative figures present the interactions between immunopotentiators and the host immune system - Each chapter lists advantages and potential hurdles for achieving a practical application for the specific immunopentiator
Mucosal Immunology
Mucosal Immunology, now in its fourth edition, is the only comprehensive reference covering the basic science and clinical manifestations of mucosal immunology. Most infectious agents enter the body through the various mucous membranes, and many common infections take place in or on mucous membranes, making this subject an area of singular importance in the field of immunology. This book contains new research data, exceptional illustrations, original theory, a new perspective, and excellent organization. It covers immune system topics, such as inductive and effector tissues and cells, and development and physiology of the mucosal barrier; diseases in the digestive system, respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract; and immunodeficiency. - The most comprehensive text on mucosal immunology from internationally recognized experts in the field - Includes exceptional color illustrations, new research data, original theory and information on all mucosal diseases - Contains nine new chapters and an expanded appendix
Oral Biology at the Turn of the Century
The swift pace of research in oral biology during the past decade has made it difficult to gain a comprehensive overview even in this narrow field. 'Oral Biology at the Turn of the Century' contains the lectures and summaries of discussion sessions held at the international symposium commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the European Research Group on Oral Biology (ERGOB) in Interlaken. It is a timely volume presenting exciting insights on the epidemiology of oral diseases, orofacial patterning and regeneration, host-microbial interactions, the role of saliva in health and disease, and future strategies for controlling and engineering processes in the oral cavity. This publication, providing a summary of contemporary oral biology based on the latest techniques in epidemiology and molecular and cellular biology, will be very valuable to both clinicians and researchers.
Laboratory Methods in Immunology
This two-volume reference details immunological techniques for biologists of all disciplines. Volume I includes a detailed discussion of the tissue culture laboratory. It addresses what the lab needs to be, and the general "housekeeping" procedures involved in tissue culture. Presented next are chapters on specific aspects of tissue culture and hybridoma technology. The book includes a review of bioassays for interleukins, and a series of papers on lymphokines and functional assays in vitro. The section on molecular genetic studies begins with consideration of the choice of strategies for cloning the genes of cell surface molecules. It continues with papers on aspects of molecular biological...
Frontiers of Mucosal Immunology
Mucosal immunology is a science which covers all the fields concerning almost all parts of the human body, i.e., not only gastroenterology but also otolaryngology, respiratory field, obstetrics and gynecology, neonatal pediatrics, dentistry, urology, ophthalmology, and so on. In this congress, the gastroenterological and dental fields were mainly discussed. The advancement of immunology is extremely rapid and therefore requires incessant exchange of information. With the progress of immunology, our scientific interest has moved to ever more specialized levels, especially the cellular level. This two-volume publication will certainly contribute to the progress of the therapy of human diseases.
