Since the discovery of viral superantigens in 1991, immunologists have made a number of new discoveries. The discoveries, especially those relating to the interplay between the immune system and viruses producing superantigens, have had a great impact on immunology and virology, as it appears that some diseases are triggered or exacerbated by viral superantigens. Viral Superantigens presents a complete review of this new area of study. Edited by a leading researcher and authored by a distinguished team of contributors, this comprehensive analysis covers every aspect of viral superantigens and related subjects, including critical topics such as effects on the T cell repertoire and viral superantigen-mediated diseases. Immunologists and virologists, clinical practitioners, and graduate students will find this book an invaluable resource to encourage further advances in research.

Designed for providers who work with judicial clients, the Providers Guide presents effective cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches. The Second Edition of this bestseller unveils a state-of-the-art approach for effectively preventing criminal recidivism and substance abuse relapse within community based and correctional settings. The core of the SSC program is a positive relationship between provider and client. Summary of results survey from the first edition of SSC 95% of the providers rated the components of SSC to be adequate to very adequate in meeting the treatment needs of judicial clients Over 90% of providers rated clients as having a moderate to very high involvement in homework and reading 95% of the clients rates as very high their satisfaction of SSC delivery, the provider's response to client needs and clients' comfort with providers Around 80% of clients reported their cognitive and behavioral control over AOD use and criminal conduct had improved during SSC The accompanying Participant's Workbook to the SSC is written to engage clients and encourage active participation in treatment and responsible living: Phase I: Challenge to Change: Building Knowledge and Skills for Responsible Living Phase II: Commitment to Change: Strengthening Skills for Self-Improvement, Change, and Responsible Living Phase III: Taking Ownership of Change: Lifestyle Balance and Healthy Living

Leading researchers in the biological, chemical, and physical investigation of superantigens describe in step-by-step detail their best experimental techniques to assess the physical characteristics and biological effects of superantigens. Their protocols range from those for investigating the interactions of superantigens with cellular receptors to those for the analysis of their immunological and biological effects, including methods for using BIOcore to determine binding kinetics and establishing various lymphocyte cell culture systems. There are also accounts of such methods as the RNase protection assay, cytokine ELISA, FACS analysis, and cytokine production at the single cell level..

Written by the foremost leaders in immunologic research, this volume is a definitive text on the ways in which bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi affect the immune response in the host. The book synthesizes recent discoveries on the various mechanisms by which microbes subvert the immune response and on the role of these immunologic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Each chapter examines a particular group of infectious pathogens and focuses on the immunobiology of the disease. A separate section explores potential vaccines for mucosal or conventional delivery.
