Though discussed in specific subsections of existing books, dsDNA and its immunogenic properties has never received the complete treatment given in this book. Biological DNA Sensor approaches the impact of dsDNA's immunogenicity on disease and vaccinology holistically. It paints a complete and concise picture on the topic so you can understand this area of study and make more informed choices for your respective research needs. Chapters are authored by researchers who are renowned for their research focus, ensuring that this book provides the most complete views on the topics.
- Multi-authored by a distinguished panel of world-class experts
- Ideal source of information for those wanting to learn about DNA sensing
- Provides in-depth explanations of DNA sensing pathways and the innate immune system, bridging the gap between them
Students, scientists and practitioners in innate immunology, autoimmune diseases and vaccinology
