The ability to remember an antigenic encounter for several decades, even for a life time, is one of the fundamental properties of the immune system. This book assembles a collection of essays from leading experts that span the entire spectrum of immunological research, from understanding the molecular mechanisms of innate immune recognition, to dendritic cell function, to the generation and maintenance of antigen-specific B and T-cell responses.

This book covers the immunological and clinical aspects of central and peripheral nervous system inflammatory diseases characterized by myelin damage. Leading scientists in the field have summarized in short reviews the state of the art of neuroimmunology, with particular emphasis on basic aspects o
<p><P>Immunologists today are interested in all of the diverse cell-types involved in host defense and have a deeper appreciation of the importance of innate immune mechanisms as a first line of protection against pathogens. This volume thus discusses the isolation and functional characterization of
