Immunochemistry of Viruses II: The basis for serodiagnosis and vaccines - Hardcover
The aim of this second volume of Immunochemistry of Viruses remains very much the same as that of the first: to assemble under one cover data on the antigenic properties of a wide range of different viruses. The belief upheld by the contributors is that this helps to reveal the underlying unity of viral immunology and immunochemistry, in so much that the advances made in techniques and analytical concepts through studying one particular group of viruses usually are applicable to most other groups.
Our knowledge of the antigenic properties of viruses is expanding very rapidly and the present volume has been compiled in the light of the major advances made in viral immunology since the first volume appeared five years ago.
Immunochemistry of Viruses II devotes five chapters to reviewing areas of research in which considerable progress has been made, including processing of antigens, local immunity and autoimmunity. Three chapters focus on applications of recombinant DNA technology and synthetic peptides and the remaining 15 chapters each deal with the antigenic structure of distinct families of viruses. In view of the extensive research developments of past years, several topics discussed in the previous volume, such as picorna and influenza viruses, have been updated and also included in volume II. Additional virus families and groups discussed include the arena-, bunya-, corona-, lenti- and poxviruses as well as bacteriophages.

Review:
...a very timely text...the general standard of the reviews and the general editorial consistency is excellent..the goal of an orally administered chemically defined vaccine has not been achieved yet, but the progress towards this goal summarized in these reviews is impressive.
