The book emphasizes the impact of immunology in maintaining our health and preventing disease. Our immune system protects us not only from severe consequences of infectious diseases and getting cancer, but is also able to harm us severely via sepsis, cytokine storms and anaphylactic shocks. Molecular understanding of immunology should allow the reader a more rational handling of common diseases, most of which are associated with chronic inflammation. 606 $aImmunology 606 $aAutoimmunity 606 $aInflammation 606 $aImmunogenetics 606 $aTumors$xImmunological aspects 606 $aImmunology 606 $aTranslational Immunology 606 $aAutoimmunity 606 $aInflammation 606 $aImmunogenetics 606 $aTumour Immunology 615 0$aImmunology. 615 0$aAutoimmunity. 615 0$aInflammation. 615 0$aImmunogenetics. 615 0$aTumors$xImmunological aspects. 615 14$aImmunology. 615 24$aTranslational Immunology. 615 24$aAutoimmunity. 615 24$aInflammation. 615 24$aImmunogenetics. 615 24$aTumour Immunology. 676 $a616.079 676 $a616.079 700 $aCarlberg$b Carsten$0849346 702 $aVelleuer$b Eunike 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910574060003321 996 $aMolecular Immunology$92868804 997 $aUNINA
