The book addresses sufficiently basic questions on how the immune system is designed to distinguish self from no self and behave such that it's able to maintain self-tolerance, how does it work in infections, and how it elicits an auto-reactive state and develops self-antigens seen in autoimmune conditions.
This is followed by an overview on the genetic and clinical aspects of the spectrum of autoimmune diseases which are broadly categorized into two types of organ specific autoimmune diseases and non-organ specific autoimmune diseases (also known as systemic autoimmune diseases).
- Covers clinical aspects of autoimmunity and translational immunology studies in autoimmunity in different clinical settings
- Meets the needs of basic scientists, clinicians, translational scientists and industry partners
- Supported by a systematic appraisal of the most recent evidence
Clinical immunologists; Endocrinologists; Microbiologists; Neurologists; Oncologists; Rheumatologists. Clinicians, research scientists, and industry partners
