The Self-Driver
"Loneliness is just a word," she whispered almost inaudibly as she let go of my hand and lowered her head, but I heard it. Theo Baldauf lives in an assisted living facility in Vienna. He is 66 years old and was born with Down syndrome. He makes his day by making key chains in an assisted workshop. But his purpose is the subway. Equipped with a cap and loudspeaker (two toilet paper rolls), he is the actual stationmaster of the Längenfeldgasse station. Always in tow is his imaginary friend James Bond. Theo couldn't complain if it weren't for his Lisi ... "Der Selbstfahrer" describes the world from Mr. Baldauf's point of view. Funny incidents and whimsicalities meet sensitive passages to think about and think along. The theme music for the book was composed by the author and made available for you on youtube.
Glycoproteins I
Part I covers modern advances in the determination ofglycoprotein structure and in the biosynthesis of mammalian,bacterial, yeast, plant and insect glycoproteins. There are alsotwo chapters on functional aspects (glycoprotein hormones andcollagens).The content of the volume is very comprehensive in that, mostcontributors have focussed on discussing, in depth, the wealthof most recent advances in their field, and referring to previousreviews of older work for background information. This method caneffectively produce a very wide subject coverage in a smallernumber of chapters/volumes.The volume is an importantinformation source for all glycobiologist researchers (seniorinvestigators, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students), andas a good, comprehensive, reference text for scientists working inthe life sciences.
The Lock and Key of Medicine
This book is the first to tell the extraordinary yet unheralded history of monoclonal antibodies, or Mabs. Though unfamiliar to most nonscientists, these microscopic protein molecules are everywhere, quietly shaping our lives and healthcare. They have radically changed understandings of the pathways of disease, enabling faster, cheaper, and more accurate clinical diagnostic testing. And they lie at the heart of the development of genetically engineered drugs such as interferon and blockbuster personalized therapies such as Herceptin. Lara V. Marks recounts the risks and opposition that a daring handful of individuals faced while discovering and developing Mabs, and she addresses the related scientific, medical, technological, business, and social challenges that arose. She offers a saga of entrepreneurs who ultimately changed the healthcare landscape and brought untold relief to millions of patients. Even so, controversies over Mabs remain, which the author explores through the current debates on their cost-effectiveness.
Cellular Immunology LabFax
LABFAX volumes are purpose-designed data reference books for practicing scientists. Each book presents the key information for a major subject in one place and so saves hours of searching. The authors and editors of each LABFAX volume have searched the original literature for the accurate data they know the subject specialist needs.Cellular Immunology Labfax is a detailed compendium of information on the tissues and cells of the immune system, cell lines and hybridomas, antigens and receptors, the major histocompatibility complex, soluble immunoregulatory molecules, in vivo procedures, important features of species used in immunological research, and much more.The contents of Cellular Immunology Labfax have been carefully chosen to complement the data presented in Immunochemistry Labfax. It is therefore the companion volume to this text.
The Human IgG Subclasses
This book features contributions from internationally renowned scientists from Europe and the USA covering aspects of immunoglobulin subclasses from a molecular and mechanistic approach. The first section presents a detailed discussion of the molecular structure and segmental flexibility of IgG subclasses, including how this controls their effector function. Structure-function relationships are fully developed in the second section by means of a functional approach to the study of complement activation and opsonization by IgG subclasses. The final section contains a generous account of the regulation of IgG subclass expressions.
AID for Immunoglobulin Diversity
Advances in Immunology, a long established and highly respected serial, presents current developments as well as comprehensive reviews in immunology.

Microorganisms as Model Systems for Studying Evolution
The microorganisms present on the earth today possess a vast range of metabolic activities and are often able to demonstrate their surprising versatility by gaining both new enzyme activities and new metabolic path ways through mutations. It is generally assumed that the earliest micro organisms were very limited in their metabolic abilities, but as time passed they gradually expanded their range of enzymatic activities and increased both their biosynthetic and catabolic capacity. It is also believed that these primitive microorganisms increased the amount of genetic material they possessed by duplicating their existing genes and possibly by ac quiring genetic material from other organisms. ...
