| diagram of an antibody: Neurologic Channelopathies , 2024-08-20 In the last 15 years, a combination of detailed clinical, genetic, molecular electrophysiological and immunological research has combined to result in a deep understanding of a subgroup of neurological diseases spanning the central and peripheral nervous system and which have become known collectively as the Neurological Channelopathies.Ion channels are critical membrane bound proteins that underpin many fundamental processes in the central and peripheral nervous system including action potential generation and propagation and the control of neurotransmitter release at all CNS synapses as well as at the neuromuscular junction. Ion channels are consequently essential for all motor actions, cognitive functions and sensory perceptions. Although it was originally considered that significant ion channel dysfunction would not be compatible with life, we now know this is often not the case, although severe disease can often be the result. Given the fundamental processes that are dependent on ion channel function, it is perhaps unsurprising that genetic or immunologically mediated ion channel dysfunction can result in almost any neurological symptom; patients may present to virtually any subspecialty within both adult and child neurology. The advances that have been made here have not only increased knowledge about the fundamental molecular mechanisms at play, but have also improved our ability to both diagnose and treat many of these disorders in clinical practice. Given these major advances, it is now the right time to combine this knowledge into a single HCN volume dedicated to the Neurological Channelopathies.The book will begin with an introductory overview highlighting common mechanistic themes that cut across different CNS and PNS presentations but with potential for common treatment approaches. This initial chapter considers the classification, genetics, and fundamental physiology of ion channels. Subsequent chapters present a detailed consideration of all genetic and immunological channelopathies. Each chapter will consider•Pathophysiological underpinnings - genetic or immunological•Clinical presentations•Diagnostic approach•Treatment and management - Identifies importance of ion channels to CNS & PNS function - Considers the classification, genetics, and physiology of ion channels - Presents all major immunological and genetic channelopathies - Provides clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of channelopathies |
| diagram of an antibody: The Neurosciences: Paths of Discovery, I F. WORDEN, J. SWAZEY, G. ADELMAN, 2012-12-06 To commemorate properly the 70th birthday of a man who, by his very nature, is too busy to pause for any kind of ceremonial event unless it has a concomitant functional output was a difficult problem for the Staff and Associates of the Neurosciences Research Program. Frank (F. O. S. ) has always dreaded the prospect that sometime it might be appropriate for his colleagues to present him a Fest schrift. In fact, Fest me no Schriften became his battle cry, expressing his feeling that the idea of testimonials clustered into a book was anathema. So the break through idea for the planners was to organize a symposium around the theme of discovery in neuroscience that would be valuable scientifically and, in its demon stration of interdisciplinary interaction, would support that emphasis in Frank's career. After much planning a program was developed, beginning with a birthday party the evening before, followed by the two-day symposium, and closing with the first F. O. Schmitt Lecture in Neuroscience. We hope that publication of the scientific proceedings in this volume will be of interest not only to the neuroscience community, but also to a broad general readership interested in discovery, under standing, and the creative processes in scientific work. An organizing committee, chaired by Fred Worden, collected advice and guidance leading to the selection of speakers whose scientific careers have played an important part in the recent history of modern neuroscience. |
| diagram of an antibody: Immunocytochemistry in Diagnostic Cytology Pranab Dey, 2021-01-31 Cytology refers to a branch of pathology that deals with making diagnoses of diseases and conditions through the examination of tissue samples from the body (MedicineNet.com). Immunocytochemistry is a laboratory method that uses antibodies to check for certain antigens (markers) in a sample of cells. The antibodies are usually linked to an enzyme or a fluorescent dye. After the antibodies bind to the antigen in the cell sample, the enzyme or dye is activated, and the antigen can then be seen under a microscope. Immunocytochemistry is used to help diagnose diseases, such as cancer. It may also be used to help tell the difference between different types of cancer (National Cancer Institute). This book is a comprehensive guide to the techniques and application of immunocytochemistry in cytology. Divided into two parts, the first section discusses basic principles and preparation, techniques and quality control, and automated immune staining. Section Two covers diagnostic applications of immunocytochemistry for many different types of tumour. The text is highly illustrated with microphotographs, tables and boxes to assist learning and interpretation of findings for accurate diagnosis.

| diagram of an antibody: Theoretical Immunology, Part Two Alan S. Perelson, 2018-02-19 Assuming that the complex phenomena underlying the operation of the immune system may be better understood through the collaborative efforts of theorists and experimentalists viewing the same phenomena in different ways, the Sante Fe Institute and the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory cosponsored a workshop entitled Theoretical Immunology. The workshop focused on themes spanning the field of immunology, with emphasis on areas where the theorists have made the most progress. This book covers the discussions a that workshop on the topics of immune surveillance, mathematical models of HIV infection, complexities of antigen-antibody systems, immune suppression and tolerance, and idiotypie networks. In each of these areas there is reason to believe that advances can be made either through interactions among experimentalists and theorists or through the critical look experimentalists and theorists will bring to bear upon one another's work. |

| diagram of an antibody: Development of Antibody-Based Therapeutics Mohammad A. Tabrizi, Gadi G. Bornstein, Scott L. Klakamp, 2012-04-24 Translational strategies for development of antibody-based therapeutics should allow understanding of the relationship between the ‘unit dose’ and ‘unit effect’ with respect to both beneficial and deleterious effects from early stages of development. The flow of information from later to earlier stages of development should provide opportunities to facilitate selection of more effective novel and next-generation drug candidates. Selection and evaluation of relevant biomarkers in early preclinical development in relevant animal models should allow for identifying potential risks to humans and establishing safe First-In-Human (FIH) dosing strategies. Hence, integration of knowledge with respect to target antigen properties such as antigen distribution, expression profile, kinetic properties, target pharmacology, antigen isoforms and pharmacological redundancy in health and disease, as well as antibody design criteria, such as antibody isotype, affinity, PK/PD and safety is a critical necessity for the design of effective translational strategies. Additionally, these factors will further offer critical differentiating characteristics for next-generation antibodies, and novel technologies prove instrumental in generation of biosuperior antibody candidates for market entry. This book will examine many important considerations necessary for the design of effective translational strategies during the development of antibody-based therapeutics. |

| diagram of an antibody: The Engine of Complexity John Mayfield, 2013-07-02 The concepts of evolution and complexity theory have become part of the intellectual ether permeating the life sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, and, more recently, management science and economics. In this book, John E. Mayfield elegantly synthesizes core concepts from multiple disciplines to offer a new approach to understanding how evolution works and how complex organisms, structures, organizations, and social orders can and do arise based on information theory and computational science. Intended for the intellectually adventuresome, this book challenges and rewards readers with a nuanced understanding of evolution and complexity that offers consistent, durable, and coherent explanations for major aspects of our life experiences. Numerous examples throughout the book illustrate evolution and complexity formation in action and highlight the core function of computation lying at the work's heart. |
