Full Description
Amphioxus Immunity: Tracing the Origin of Human Immunity covers a remarkable range of information about Amphioxus and its evolutionary context. This compilation of what is currently known about Amphioxus, with a sharp focus on its immune system, includes 13 topics, such as:
Amphioxus as a model for understanding the evolution of vertebrates
basic knowledge of immunology
immune organs and cells of amphioxus
a genomic and transcriptomic view of the Amphioxus immunity
pattern recognition system in Amphioxus
transcription factors in Amphioxus
the complement system of Amphioxus
the oxidative burst system in Amphioxus
immune effectors in Amphioxus
lipid signaling of immune response in Amphioxus
apoptosis in amphioxus; primitive adaptive immune system of Amphioxus
and future research directions
This valuable reference book is loaded with information that will be useful for anyone who wishes to learn more about the origin of vertebrates and adaptive immunity.
