Antigen Processing - Mechanisms, Genomics and Evolution (Hardcover)

Whilst achievements in antigen presentation research and related biomedical applications have been rapidly accumulating, until now there has been no concise yet sufficiently detailed overview of MHC genetics and molecular processing in one volume. This book adopts a comprehensive approach to antigen presentation, featuring links to cancer research, proteomics, systems biology, and stem cell therapy. In-depth surveys of our current state of knowledge cover both basic research as well as promising novel therapeutic strategies, such as in the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.
