    Summary: "In launching this book, we wanted to cover many aspects and mechanisms of cellular microbiology, but more importantly, we intended to show that cellular microbiology as a field has reached maturity, extending beyond the strictly cellular level to infections of various organs and tissues. Many model organisms (Yersinia, Salmonella, Shigella, and Listeria, among others) are foodborne pathogens, and tremendous progress has been achieved in deciphering how, when, and where bacteria interact with the gut. However, intestinal cells and the intestine are not the only cells and organs discussed in this book. There are also chapters on infections of the urogenital tract, the endothelial barriers, the nervous system, and the lungs. Progress in the latter two concern important public health infections produced by Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These two bacteria, which were at first much more difficult to manipulate than Escherichia coli, are now genetically tractable, and their study can now benefit from all the techniques and approaches established with less fastidious bacteria"-- Provided by publisher.

    Graft rejection caused by genetic differences between donor and recipient is an immunological reaction of transplantation antigens with mechanisms of primarily cellular immunity, and later on even of humoral immunity. For initiating the immune response of the recipient three stages have to be distinguished: 1. Recognition of determinant groups of transplantation antigens by menbrame receptors at the surface of immunologically competent lymphocytes. 2. Differentiation and proliferation of immunologically activated lymphoid cells into cellular antibodies and plasma cells, the receptor molecules of which could be identified as immunoglobulins and which are sent into the blood as circulating humoral antibodies, , partially as complement fixing ones. 3. Effector phase, in the course of which the lysis of the graft is caused by target cell destruction. Many problems still remain unsolved, but now as ever, the basis of most experimental studies is still formed by Burnet's clonal selection theory.
