Despite years of immunologic investigation, the mechanisms that regulate this mucosal immune system have received relatively little attention. This is due to the complexities of the immune and endocrine system and also the difficulties of conducting experiments in this field. This book systematically reviews and discusses recent studies and articles on the immunology of female genital tract tissue. The scope is broad, encompassing innate immune responses, adaptive (humoral and cell-mediated) immunity, the immunology of menstruation, the immunology of viral and bacterial infections, the immunology of normal and abnormal pregnancy, and immunological infertility. Throughout, tables and illustrations are judiciously used to facilitate understanding. Immunology of the Female Genital Tract will serve as an invaluable source of up-to-date information for all with an interest in this subject. 606 $aGynecology  606 $aImmunology 606 $aDermatology 606 $aUrology 606 $aObstetrics 606 $aMaternal and child health services 606 $aGynecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H26006 606 $aImmunology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B14000 606 $aDermatology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H1900X 606 $aUrology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H62002 606 $aObstetrics/Perinatology/Midwifery$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H26014 606 $aMaternal and Child Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27025 615 0$aGynecology . 615 0$aImmunology. 615 0$aDermatology. 615 0$aUrology. 615 0$aObstetrics. 615 0$aMaternal and child health services. 615 14$aGynecology. 615 24$aImmunology. 615 24$aDermatology. 615 24$aUrology. 615 24$aObstetrics/Perinatology/Midwifery. 615 24$aMaternal and Child Health. 676 $a612.62 700 $aWeissenbacher$b Ernst Rainer$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064191 702 $aWirth$b Monika$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMylonas$b Ioannis$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLedger$b William J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aWitkin$b Steven S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300077203321 996 $aImmunology of the Female Genital Tract$92536743 997 $aUNINA
