Innate Recognition of Viral-Derived Components, Immunotherapy, TLR Signaling Pathways, Inflammation of Tissues, and MHC Molecules: Innate and Adaptive Immunity

The present book is a scholarly and comprehensive volume that explores the major principles, mechanisms, and therapeutic dimensions of the human immune system. The book examines how innate and adaptive immunity work together to recognize microbial and viral components, regulate inflammatory responses, and protect the host against infectious diseases. It offers detailed discussions on pattern recognition receptors, Toll-like receptors, RLR and NLR signaling pathways, cytosolic DNA sensors, cytokine interactions, inflammasomes, complement systems, MHC molecules, T-cell receptors, B-cell responses, NK cells, superantigens, immunopathology, allergy, and immune tolerance. The volume also addresses contemporary concerns in immunology, including COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, HIV/AIDS, cytokine release syndromes, plasma therapy, injectable immunoglobulins, BCG, stem cell applications, immunotherapy, and targeted immune interventions. Written with an interdisciplinary scientific approach, the book is useful for students, researchers, academicians, and professionals in biotechnology, microbiology, immunology, medical biotechnology, and allied health sciences. It provides valuable insight into host defence, disease susceptibility, immune regulation, inflammation, and the growing significance of immunological research in modern biomedical science.
