      This is a professional-level intellectual history of the development of immunology from about 1720 to about 1970. Beginning with the work and insights of the early immunologists in the 18th century, Silverstein traces the development of the major ideas which have formed immunology down to the maturation of the discipline in the decade following the Second World War. Emphasis is placed on the philosophic and sociologic climate of the scientific milieu in which immunology has developed, providing a background to the broad culture of the discipline.

      Advances in Veterinary Science and Comparative Medicine, Volume 32: Immunodeficiency Disorders and Retroviruses provides an understanding of retrovirus morphogenesis, pathogenesis, and the processes of infection and transformation. This book discusses several issues in retrovirology and their importance in basic viral oncology, comparative medicine, veterinary medicine, and immunodeficiency syndromes. Organized into eight chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the replication cycle of retroviruses. This text then summarizes the factors responsible for the progression of the neoplastic condition through each stage in the ontogeny of lymphoid leukosis. Other chapters consider bovine leukemia virus, which is the etiological agent of a chronic lymphatic leukemia/lymphoma in sheep, cos, and goats. This book discusses as well the immunologic, virologic, and epidemiologic aspects of immunosuppressive disease caused by type D retroviruses. The final chapter deals with the involvement of DNA and RNA oncogenic viruses in animal and human neoplasias. This book is a valuable resource for scientists, oncologists, and clinicians.

      Our understanding of the molecular genetics of immunoglobulins has been enormously advanced by the application of recombinant DNA technology. This new volume in the popular series New Comprehensive Biochemistry contains eight chapters that draw together reviews summarising the research into immunoglobulins and the arrangement, rearrangement and expression of their gene structure.Molecular Genetics of Immunoglobulin will be of particular importance to those working in the areas of genetics and molecular biology, immunology, and cell biology.
