BOOK
The Immune System
This volume contains the proceedings of the 27th Colloquium of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie, focusing on the molecular and cellular foundations of the immune system. Contributions examine how immune cells generate highly diverse antigen-binding receptors, with special emphasis on antibody structure, receptor specificity, and antigen-triggered cellular responses.
The book captures major conceptual and experimental advances of the mid‑1970s, linking three-dimensional antibody structure to biological function, including complement activation and lymphocyte triggering. It is a significant historical reference in the development of modern molecular immunology.
