The protein, called cytidine uridine guano sine binding protein - 2 , or CUGBP2, is naturally found in living cells.
The sixth edition of this successful textbook newly covers: * Toll-like receptors, their ligands and intracellular activation pathways * The key role of activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination * The autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene in self-tolerance and autoimmunity * T and B cell activation and the immunological synapse, as well as characterization and mechanisms of action of T regulatory cells Key Topics Covered: * About the Authors.
The bulk of the work consists of reviews of the characteristics and uses of the different types of drugs and chemical and biological agents important to the field, including antifolates, cytidine analogues, purine antimetabolites, bleomycin, antitumor antibiotics, asparaginase, bisphosphonates, inhibitors of tumor angiogenesis, interferons, and interleukins, to cite a few.
