Hardbound. In the fast developing field of molecular biology important new findings on the genetic background of the primary immunodefeciencies were presented at the 7th ESID meeting. Primary immunodefeciencies are rare inherited disorders which have proven to be of great importance to our understanding of the normal function of the immune system. They represent spontaneous events similar to those which are experimentally produced by targeted deletions of immune system genes in transgenic animals. This volume summarizes the ...

Hardbound. In the fast developing field of molecular biology important new findings on the genetic background of the primary immunodefeciencies were presented at the 7th ESID meeting. Primary immunodefeciencies are rare inherited disorders which have proven to be of great importance to our understanding of the normal function of the immune system. They represent spontaneous events similar to those which are experimentally produced by targeted deletions of immune system genes in transgenic animals. This volume summarizes the present knowledge in the field today. It is of interest to anyone working in the field: the clinical immunologists taking care of the patients, the basic immunologist struggling with animal models to improve our understanding of the immune system, and the molecular biologist uncovering the code of the human genome.
