Mechanisms of Lymphocyte Activation and Immune Regulation: Molecular Determinants of Microbial Immunity: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference Held in Newport Beach, California, February 6-8, 1998

The latest developments in the area of microbial immunity are explored and explained in this timely volume, including new conceptual frameworks for the processing and presentation of peptides and nonpeptide antigens from microbes to T cells. Such experimental models have been instrumental in defining some of the pathways for generating protective immune responses against microbes. Other topics covered include: DAP 12, CD4+, Th1 and Th2 Cells, HIV infection, fusion, and tropism, and vaccine development.
