More DescriptionA clear understanding of immunogenicity is necessary for the design of effective vaccines and the avoidance of unnatural immune responses. This book offers a thorough examination of the mechanisms involved in immunogenicity and its practical applications. Extremely valuable, Immunogenicity focuses on the events that lead to T cell activation and memory generation, deals with the processing and presentation of antigens to T cells, examines recognitive and signalling events, and covers the processes surrounding lymphocyte activation. There is a full discussion of immunological memory and the role of immunogenicity in infectious diseases, vaccine design, transplantation immunity, and autoimmunity.
