Springer Chemokines and Viral Infection: 303 - Microbiology Book

Explore the complex world of immunology with Chemokines and Viral Infection, part of the Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology series (Volume 303). Published by Springer, this academic text examines the family of over 40 small proteins known as chemokines. These proteins function by binding to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed on various cell types. This volume covers the essential role these molecules play in human health, including their association with inflammatory diseases and their function in leukocyte recruitment to inflamed tissue. For researchers, medical practitioners, and students in pathology and microbiology, this book provides a deep look into how these proteins operate within the biological environment. It serves as a specialized resource for understanding the mechanisms behind immune responses and the biological processes that drive viral infection dynamics.
