Session Abstract

Defence mechanisms play a key role in higher organisms but are also invovled in patologies, for example those with inflamatory resposnes.. Particularly interesting are recent advances in our understanding of the innate, hard-wired immune response. These will be highlighted in this session.

For all abstracts of the session as prepared for Acta Crystallographica see PDF in Introduction, or individual abstracts below.
