Immunological Aspects of Gastroenterology – Immunology and Medicine Series, VOLUME 31 (2001) Y.R. Mahida

Description

The gastrointestinal tract represents a large and complex area of interface between the host and a complex luminal environment, consisting largely of microorganisms and their products and dietary constituents. The aim of this book is to illustrate the importance of the immune system in regulating normal host responses to luminal components and its role in acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
