PROBIOTICS: IMMUNOBIOTICS AND IMMUNOGENICS is a comprehensive book prepared by expert international authors that review the most recent cutting-edge research in the use of immunoregulatory probiotics (immunobiotics) and their bioactive compounds (immunogenics) to prevent and improve different health disorders. Written by leading experts from industry and academia in the fields of Cellular, Molecular, Nutritional Food and Feed Immunology, each chapter affords a critical insight to a particular topic, reviews current research, discusses future perspective and aims to stimulate discussion. Topics covered include the use of immunobiotics and immunogenics to functionally modulate the mucosal and systemic immune system for improving inflammatory, infectious and atopic diseases. In addition, novel applications of immunobiotics and immunogenics are discussed such as their use in respiratory infections, wound treatment and regulation of the interaction between inflammation and coagulation as well as their effect on hematopoiesis. As reviewed in PROBIOTICS: IMMUNOBIOTICS AND IMMUNOGENICS, the potential benefits of immunobiotics and immunogenics are enormous and should enable the development of novel clinical strategies to improve human and animal health trough the appropriate manipulation of the immune system. This book is an essential reference for all PhD students, medical researchers, veterinary researchers, immunologists, dairy technologists, microbiologists and biotechnologists in the academic and industrial sectors. Features - Provides a concise review of the immunological basis of probiotic activity - Discusses key issues, of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in mucosal immune system modulation by probiotics - Examines new possible areas where probiotics might be useful for preventing diseases - Addresses future directions in nutrition and food immunology
