Immunobiology of Carbohydrates

The book "Immunobiology of Carbohydrates" provides comprehensive information about the role of carbohydrates in the immune system and the responses of both the innate and adaptive immune responses to microbial antigens. The editors have selected topics that possess both fundamental and clinical relevance. The content is structured to enable readers to understand the complex processes that lead to the elimination or immune response to carbohydrate antigens. The clear and concise summaries of key information on carbohydrate immunology are based on current literature and have been authored by experts from various disciplines, including chemistry, medicine, biochemistry, glycobiology, and immunology. The book highlights the challenges and opportunities arising from understanding the significance of carbohydrates and glyconjugates for health and disease, and demonstrates how new knowledge from carbohydrate immunology can contribute to the development of innovative therapeutic approaches and vaccines.
