This volume explores immune cell receptors that are used in the detection of microbes, either by binding directly to non-self molecules or through indirectly sensing microbe-associated cellular disturbances. The chapters in this book cover methods for studying receptor-ligand in…
The type 2 immune response that develops during infectious disease has undergone major paradigm shifts in the last several years as new cell types and pathways have been identified.℗ℓ It is now clear that the type 2 immune response, characterized by elevations in specific cytoki…
