IgM and Its Receptors and Binding Proteins

IgM and Its Receptors and Binding Proteins edited by Hiromi Kubagawa, Peter D. Burrows.

This volume reviews the current state of research on the IgM antibody and its multiple receptors and binding proteins. Interactions of the IgM ligands with these molecules are important for protection against infections as a first line of defense, as well as for regulation of immune responses to pat...
