Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection causes severe diseases in immunocompromised patients. CMV-related morbidity is frequently linked to aberrant immune responses occurring locally within the respective tissues including immune-privileged sites such as the retina. There is growing evidence that CMV-related pathomechanisms differ profoundly as a function of cell type and differentiation state of the host cell. This book provides important new insights into CMV-related immunopathology, discusses molecular mechanisms involved in HCMV-mediated tissue injury, CMV latency and reactivation, and presents n

Bruce R. Smoller, MD, concisely reviews for practitioners and students alike the science of immunopathology, its many basic laboratory tools, and their multiple diagnostic uses in actual clinical case studies. The author presents in an easily digestible form a dictionary of antibody probes, summarizing for each antibody the targeted antigen and its cellular function, its diagnostic utility, and, when available, its sensitivities and specificities for identifying various neoplasms. Real clinical cases from the author’s practice demonstrate the benefits of immunopathology.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection can cause severe diseases with significant morbidity and morality in immunocompromised patients, such as bone marrow or solid-organ transplant recipients and AIDS patients. This book provides insight into CMV-related immunopathology, discusses methods of CMV diagnosis and anti-CMV therapy, and proposes antiviral treatment strategies. It contains contributions by leading scientists and clinicians in the field of CMV, who participated in the First International Round Table Consensus Meeting held in Frankfurt in August 1997. Subjects under discussion include CMV pa

This practical laboratory manual provides an essential source of reference, information and guidance for all laboratory and clinical immunologists. It fully describes the methods used in diagnostic immunopathology, and discusses the interpretation and value of the parameters measured. It also answers important practical questions: which parameters are useful in arriving at a diagnosis; which are useful for monitoring the severity of a disease; what level of precision is achievable, and what level is useful; how do we measure accuracy, and how do we achieve inter-laboratory consistency?
