E-raamat: Immunogenomics and Human Disease

Contrasted to hypothesis-driven immunological research, immunogenomics is here described as a more interactive and flexible relationship between classical research and the discovery-driven approach. Researchers in genetics, immunology, and other specialties from Hungary and elsewhere in Europe, North America, and Japan survey its use and potential in human health care. Their topics include genotyping methods and disease gene identification, the genomic and proteomic analysis of activated human monocytes, genomics and functional differences of dendritic cell subsets, and histamine genomics and metabolomics.

This book provides an overview of key conceptual and molecular technologies being deployed in immunogenomics, followed by detailed evaluations of the impact of genomics and systems biology on important areas such as cancer immunology, autoimmunity, allergy and the response to infection.
