Structural Concepts in Immunology and Immunochemistry
نویسنده
چکیده
This very brief volume reviews current information about certain biochemical and genetic aspects of mitochondria. The authors concentrate their attention on mitochondria replication, and the genetic specification of mitochondria components. This field is developing rapidly and in most areas the final answers are not available; therefore, new discoveries about the topology of mitochondria DNA and its variation in different organisms have partially superceded the material presented in this volume. Nevertheless the subject matter is extremely exciting, the presentation for the most part lucid and informative, and speculation is appropriately conservative and limited. I would recommend this volume for an evening of interesting reading to workers in almost any field of biology and biochemistry. This subject has broad implications in fields from molecular biology and developmental biology up through such clinical situations as the possible mechanisms of chloramphenical toxicity. While the volume is too specialized to be easily incorporated into a general biochemistry course for undergraduates, it is suitable for use in seminar courses and is excellent source material for stimulating discussion and further experimentation.

Molecular biology and Pauling's immunochemistry: a neglected dimension.
This paper argues that there is a substantial overlap between the history of immunology and the history of molecular biology, an overlap manifested in the researches on antibodies during the 1930s and 1940s. This common ground is a product of intellectual developments, as well as institutional trends. Viewed from an intellectual vantage point of the 1930s and 1940s, molecular biology was essent...

متن کاملCandida albicans Structural and Secreted Proteins Modulate CD4/CD8 Ratio in Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes of Spontaneous Adenocarcinoma Bearing Mice
Background: Candida albicans is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens that suppress immunologic mechanisms of the host. It is speculated that structural and secretory proteins of C. albicans have immunomodulatory effects in cancer. Objective: To evaluate the effects of C. albicans structural and secreted proteins on intratumoral CD4/CD8 ratio as well as the survival rate in BALB/c t...
