Summary
"Content and General Outline of the Book. We have tried to make this edition of the book self-contained. In principle, it aims at students and researchers from diverse background and levels interested in working with immunological problems. It provides biological insights into a certain extent as well as a simpler way to implement approaches and algorithms in the immunoinformatics research domain. There are 30 chapters distributed in five sections that cover various aspects of basic immunology to immunoinformatics. Part I is dedicated to describing the transition from basic and traditional immunology to immunoinformatics. It includes three chapters that introduce a basic immune system, its interaction with metabolic machinery, and informatics related to immune system. Part II contains comprehensive detail on most of the existing databases related to an immune system and its components. Similarly, most of the possible approaches/tools/algorithms for the prediction of T/B-cell epitopes, allergenic proteins, and virulence factors are described in Part III. In Part IV, systems biology approaches in the immunoinformatics domain have been explained, particularly for inflammation and personalized medicine. Part V deals with some applications of immunoinformatics research. In this section, we have provided applications of immunoinformatics in cancer diagnosis and therapy, HIV pathogenesis, and methods to investigate the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. Part V also includes the description of the role of structure-based clustering of MHC molecules as well as small RNA in vaccine designing."--Preface, page viii.
