The high affinity IgE receptor (FceRI) plays a central role in allergic
diseases including asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food
and drug allergy. Manipulating the function of this receptor is
important for controlling the onset of allergic diseases. Written by
leading scientists in the field, this book is the first comprehensive
monograph to cover various aspects of FceRI structure, signal
transduction and function. Thus, the book is valuable for
researchers/students working on FceRI and on other receptors. In
addition, clinicians who are concerned with broadening their knowledge
of the FceRI role in allergic diseases will find this book useful.
