Inhaltsangabe

Presenting the latest information on the function of the mucosal immune system, this book demonstrates that it has a "gatekeeper" role in preventing the entry of antigens via the mucosa and in filtering out antigens that do enter. The authors provide a comprehensive description of the system and of how mucosal immune processes interact with pathogens on the mucosal surface. In a lucid fashion, they discuss the regulation of the IgA response, the relation between autoimmunity and mucosal immunoregulation, mucosal specific immune functions, and the mucosal immune mechanisms involved in viral and bacterial infections, including sexually transmitted diseases. This is a timely reference for immunologists, infectious disease specialists, and gastroenterologists. Contributors: M. Adachi, Ahren, K. Barrett, E. Beachey, E. Bearer, D. Befus, B. Bender, E.
