Synopsis

Biological DNA Sensor defines the meaning of DNA sensing pathways and demonstrates the importance of the innate immune responses induced by double stranded DNA (dsDNA) through its influencing functions in disease pathology and immune activity of adjuvants for vaccines.

Though discussed in specific subsections of existing books, dsDNA and its immunogenic properties has never received the complete treatment given in this book. Biological DNA Sensor approaches the impact of dsDNA's immunogenicity on disease and vaccinology holistically. It paints a complete and concise picture on the topic so you can understand this area of study and make more informed choices for your respective research needs. Chapters are authored by researchers who are renowned for their research focus, ensuring that this book provides the most complete views on the topics.

• Multi-authored by a distinguished panel of world-class experts
• Ideal source of information for those wanting to learn about DNA sensing
• Provides in-depth explanations of DNA sensing pathways and the innate immune system, bridging the gap between them

About this title

From the Back Cover

The primary goal of the book is firstly to define the meaning of DNA sensing pathways and bring to light the importance of the innate immune responses induced by double stranded DNA (dsDNA) through its influencing functions in disease pathology and immune activity of adjuvants for vaccines. Although there are several existing books which have discussed the immunogenic properties of dsDNA in their sub-sections, there are none published to date that have dsDNA as the main cast of the report. The title approaches the topic of the impact that immunogenicity of dsDNA has on disease and vaccinology holistically. It paints a complete and concise picture on the topic to better facilitate the reader to understand this area of study and to make more informed choices for their respective research needs. Various subsections are written by researchers that are renowned for their research focus, ensuring that the most complete views on the topics are presented.
