Contents; Contributors; Foreword: What Would Darwin Have Said?; Preface; SECTION I: BIOLOGY OF THE PROFESSIONAL PHAGOCYTE; SECTION II: MEMBRANE RECEPTORS: RECOGNITION, ADHESION, PHAGOCYTOSIS, CHEMOTAXIS, AND MIGRATION; SECTION III: PHAGOCYTOSIS: SIGNALING, CYTOSKELETON, AND THE PHAGOSOME; SECTION IV: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE INNATE AND ACQUIRED IMMUNE RESPONSE; SECTION V: PATHOGENS OF THE PROFESSIONAL PHAGOCYTE; SECTION VI: MODELS OF HOST-PATHOGEN INTERACTIONS; Index.
Featuring contributions from eminent immunologists, microbial geneticists, and cell and molecular biologists, this single volume brings together a current understanding of how phagocytes recognize and respond to potentially pathogenic microbes. It explores and explains the complex biology underlying the different phagocyte lineages that enables them to sense and respond to their environments.
