✦ Synopsis

Advances in Veterinary Science and Comparative Medicine, Volume 23: Basic and Clinical Aspects of Veterinary Immunology provides information pertinent to the basic and applied aspects of veterinary immunology. This book discusses the biology of immune responses, which is significant in the understanding of disease processes in a number of animal species.

Organized into 10 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of immunoglobulin classes observed in various animal species, with emphasis on the role of colostral and local immunity in the neonatal ungulate. This text then discusses the importance of the immune response to the well-being of an individual. Other chapters consider the clinical manifestation of diseases observed in primary and acquired immune deficiencies. This book discusses as well the mechanisms by which humoral and cellular immune factors effect their action on bacteria. The final chapter deals with toxic substances or environmental contaminants that cause aberrant immune responses.

This book is a valuable resource for immunologists and clinicians.
