The Pathogenic Spirochetes: strategies for evasion of host immunity and persistence by Monica E. Embers
English | ISBN: 1461454034 | 2012 | PDF | 273 pages | 5,8 MB
This book explores the many mechanisms by which the most prevalent Spirochetal pathogens persist in a healthy immune-competent host. Among them are the direct and indirect suppression of host immune signals, phase and antigenic variation, escaping recognition by host complement proteins, and seclusion into immune privileged sites.
