| Summary: | <p>Examines the mechanisms of both the innate and adaptive immune systems as they relate to infection and disease.</p> Explores the underlying mechanisms of immunity and the many sequelae of host-pathogen interactions, ranging from the sterile eradication of the invader, to controlled chronic infection, to pathologic corollaries of the host-pathogen crosstalk. Discusses the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune disorders and cancers that are induced by infectious agents but then become independent of the infection process. Serves as a resource for immunologists, molecular microbiologists, infectious disease clinicians, researchers, and students. |
