This book discusses particle physics and relativistic local field theory that is the main theoretical tool for analyzing particle physics. It is helpful for the professional physicist and to the serious graduate student of physics.

This book responds to dramatic current developments in molecular and cellular biology, and in the increasingly interrelated disciplines of genetics, immunology/immunotherapy and microbiology. Advances in molecular biology, genetic engineering, cloning and DNA sequencing have made it possible to model, design, and produce specific-purpose antibody molecules. This ability to alter molecular/protein structures, and even create new "tailor-made" molecules and proteins, is a quantum leap for both basic science and clinical medicine. This study shows the applications of engineered antibodies in diagnosis immunotherapy and protein purification, and provides insights into the structural basis of antigen binding, effector functions, and regulation of the immune response. These therapeutic and practical uses of antibody engineering are possible by focusing on established as well as emergent concepts, methods and techniques.

Immunobiology and Pathogenesis of Persistent Virus Infections

Virus persistence is little understood, but is a critically important aspect of numerous diseases, including viral hepatitis, AIDS, and herpes virus infections. Many of these persistent viruses may lie dormant in the human body, but may be reactivated in response to some stimulus; this fact is especially important when the human host is receiving immunosuppressive therapy - for example, following transplant surgery - or is otherwise immunocompromised, as in AIDS patients. Immunobiology and Pathogenesis of Persistent Virus Infections distills state-of-the-art research in the area of persistent virus infections. A distinguished group of contributing virologists explore the mechanisms by which various viruses, including HIV-1, herpes, measles, retroviruses, hepatitis, and lentiviruses, persist within the human host. The book considers viral persistence on three separate levels: persistence within the cell; persistence within the human individual; and persistence within the human population. Genetic changes associated with virus persistence are reviewed, and intervention strategies are discussed.

During the past few decades, there has been an explosive increase of knowledge in disciplines related to children's cancer. New disease entities, new diagnostic methods, and novel therapeutic modalities have been introduced. These clinical advances are largely based on new insights into

Until recently, the vascular system was perceived as inert, and immunology and vascular biology were seen as unrelated disciplines. However, research has now shown that much of the work of the immune system occurs within the vascular canals and there is constant interaction between the immunocompetent cells and the vessel wall. Immune Functions of the Vessel Wall, is therefore a timely publication. It summarizes the manifold interactions between the endothelium and the immune response system and includes important sections examining the immunopathology involved in various forms of vascular damage, particularly atherosclerosis.

This volume is not simply another general theory of world system. It is a theoretically and ethnographically informed collection of essays which opens up new questions through an examination of concrete cases, covering global and local questions of political economy.
