The Cytokine Factsbook and Webfacts
Completely revised and expanded, this second edition of The Cytokine FactsBook is the most up-to-date reference manual available for all current well-characterized interleukins, cytokines, and their receptors. An additional 52 cytokines are included, doubling the number of entries from the previous edition. The key properties of each cytokine are described and presented in a very accessible format with diagrams for each of the receptors. The Cytokine FactsBook includes free online access to the regularly updated Cytokine Webfacts. Cytokine Webfacts is a web-based comprehensive compendium of facts about cytokines and their receptors that includes a variety of data representations, such as text, signal pathway diagrams and 3D images. This exciting resource is integrated into other databases via hypertext links to provide a unique network, and contains a web-enabled version of RasMol for viewing structures.
The Blood Group Antigen FactsBook
The second edition of The Blood Group Antigen FactsBook provides key information relating to human red blood cell membrane components carrying blood group antigens, the molecular basis of the antigens, their serological characteristics, and the clinical significance of blood group antibodies. The data on this group of molecules has expanded greatly since the previous edition was published five years ago. Topics include: history and information on terminology, expression, chromosomal assignment, carrier molecule description, molecular basis of antigens, effect of enzymes/chemicals, clinical significance, disease association, phenotypes, glycotypes and key references. - Over 250 fully updated entries on blood group antigens, formatted on single pages for easy use - Inclusion of RHAG blood group system and over twenty new antigens - Basic science paired with clinical applications to give context to information - Full-color illustrations, gene maps and charts - Both traditional and ISBT-sanctioned naming conventions included
The Adhesion Molecule Factsbook
How do you keep track of basic information on the proteins you work with? Where do you find details of their physicochemical properties, amino acid sequences, gene organization? Are you tired of scanning review articles, primary papers and databases to locate that elusive fact? The new Academic Press FactsBook series will satisfy scientists and clinical researchers suffering from information overload. Each volume provides a catalogue of the essential properties of families of molecules. Gene organization, amino acid sequences, physiochemical properties, and biological activity are presented using a common, easy to follow format. Taken together they compile everything you wanted to know about proteins but were too busy to look for. Provides information on * alternative nomenclature, * tissue distribution and regulation of expression, * ligands, * gene organization and chromosomal location, * protein structure and molecular weights, * amino acid sequence of the most commonly studied organisms, * PIR, SWISSPROT, and EMBL/GenBank accession numbers, * biological function, * key references
Vascular Endothelium
Vascular endothelium is arguably the most important biological interface - that between the blood and the tissues of the body. The role of endothelium as a haemocompatible lining of blood vessels has long been known, however, due to a dramatic expansion of research activity made possible by technical advances, the catalogue of known endothelial activities is now extensive. These cells play an active role in the inflammatory process, the regulation of haemostasis and vascular tone, and the uptake and metabolism of numerous biochemical mediators. The concept of endothelium as little more than a nucleated, haemocompatible biodialysis bag has drastically changed. The main themes of this volume centre around i) the dramatic discovery that endothelium can upregulate adhesive proteins on its surface in response to mediators such as cytokines, and that these adhesins can act as anchors for circulating cells and ii) the extravascular migration of the circulating cells.
The G-Protein Linked Receptor Facts Book
Catalogues major facts about receptors, G-proteins and effector molecules. Each entry has a common format, using a minimum amount of text, and contains information on the sequence, gene structure, distribution, agonists/antagonists and physiochemical properties of these proteins.

Metalloproteinases as Targets for Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
This volume describes recent research in the field of metalloproteinases (a family of enzymes that can catalyze tissue degradation), in particular their participation in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, reviewing the latest developments in metalloproteinase inhibitor design and the current status of clinical candidates. This volume is intended not only for those active in research into metalloproteinases but also for those with an interest in inflammatory diseases. Thus it addresses both academic and industrial researchers.
The Leucocyte Antigen Factsbook
Contains entries on all CD molecules and all other sequenced molecules expressed on the surface of haematopoietic cells (white and red blood cells). Each entry has a common format, using a minimum amount of text, and contains information on the sequence, expression and Physicochemic properties
Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinases
This volume contains papers from a multidisciplinary conference convened to discuss mechanisms of action, pharmacology, models for drug development, and recent positive clinical trial data relating to the inhibition of collagenases and related metalloproteinases matrix (MMPs). Excess metalloproteinase activity has been identified in many disease processes, and finally products for the specific use as metalloproteinase inhibitors are about to be marketed. In this book, two novel themes are explored: the arguments for and against broad-spectrum versus specific MMP inhibitors, and the potential usefulness of chairside diagnostic kits for clinical determination of excessive MMP activity.
