A weak immune system is susceptible to various diseases and infections caused by foreign bodies like bacteria, fungus and viruses. From a trivial cold to a serious cancer—one is prone to all if the immune system is not strong enough to fight against these foreign bodies. This text gives a comprehensive account on human immune system, its basics, types, structure and functions of antibodies, and the advanced topics of Immunology like immunodeficiencies and immunotherapy. The book explains physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and diseases; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders (autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immune deficienc...
Monoclonal antibodies are antibody molecules having homogeneous structure and known specificity. This book provides a basic and over all idea of research carried out in the field of monoclonals for the past three decades. This book discusses in detail the production of monoclonalanti bodies, the techniques used to make human monoclonals, the wide applications of monoclonals in various fields like medical,environmental, industrial and research and the FDA-approved monoclonal drugs with respect to their nature, their modes of action, and the experiments undertaken during their clinical trials, with appropriatediagrams and graphic illustrations. The book also discusses the research undertaken by various biotech companies, patents applied, and the present and future status of monoclonals in the drug market.
Biochemistry deals with the chemistry of life, and as such it draws on the techniques of analytical, organic, and physical chemistry, as well as those of physiologists concerned with the molecular basis of vital processes. All chemical changes within the organism-either the degradation of substances, generally to gain necessary energy, or the buildup of complex molecules necessary for life processes-are collectively termed metabolism. The origin of cells was the most important step in the evolutionary theory of life on Earth. The birth of the cell marked the passage from pre-biotic chemistry to partitioned units resembling modern cells. The final transition to living entities that fulfill al...
Biochemistry is the branch of science use to study chemical reactions in organisms. Biotechnology is a branch of science which help as catalyst (device or instrument) study biochemistry and many other field of science. Examining cells at a molecular level, biochemistry develops our understanding of the chemistry of life, revealing the complex processes in operation in living systems. Biotechnology harnesses these advances of understanding for beneficial use in industry, medicine and agriculture. Amino acids can be joined covalently through peptide bonds to form peptides, which can also be formed by incomplete hydrolysis of polypeptides. The acid-base behavior and chemical reactions of a pept...

The present book is a novel attempt to make available the students an exhaustive, interesting and valuable information on the subject of Economic Zoology. All kinds of animal pathogens such as protozoans, helminths, nematodes, mites and ticks and household insects, directly or indirectly causing diseases in other animals including humans, have been described in detail covering every aspect of their life history along with the symptoms appearing on the hosts, and their prevention, control and cure. Furthermore, along with the animal pathogens mentioned above, plant pathogens, such as insects, acting as pests of a variety of crops have also been described in full detail. Apart from the harmful...
