MS-10: Structural biology of eukaryotic immune systems
Invited: Tsan Sam Xiao (USA), Raul Olivier Martin (USA), Wen Song (Germany) | ||
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. | ||
