Plastics Engineering #10: Genetics of Allergy and Asthma

by Malcolm Blumenthal

Plastics Engineering #10: Genetics of Allergy and Asthma Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book extends investigative studies of allergic disease pathogenesis through a biological and environmental interaction approach - from historical grounding to genetic-nongenetic allergen identification in asthma and allergy development.

Book News Annotation:

A summary of the genetics of asthma and allergies which provides the information needed for performing investigative studies to understand the basis of these conditions and develop new methods for managing them. A brief historical perspective on allergies and asthma is followed by 14 chapters addressing human genetics; tools for the study of genetics; regulation of IgE production and the development of allergic responses in different organs; clinical methods to study the immune system in asthma and allergy; genetic studies of asthma and allergy; the epidemiology of asthma; risk factors for sensitization and development of allergic diseases; specific immune responses to purified allergens; regulation of IgE synthesis in vitro and in vivo; inflammation; ventilation, dynamics, and gas exchange; bronchial hyperresponsiveness and regulation of total serum IgE levels; and the genetics of asthma, allergy, and related conditions.
