Superantigens are a rapidly growing new class of ligands for human B-cells. The study of their interaction with lymphocytes provides insight into important mechanisms of the immune system. In this book, leading scientists survey the progress recently made in the identification, the nature, the structure of B-cell superantigens and their potential involvement in pathological conditions. It is the first book to bring together a comprehensive view of the recently described B-cell superantigens.
