How does autophagy trigger the immune system against intracellular pathogens? This is the first book on an excitingly new topic at the interface of cell biology, immunology, and infection biology. Edited by one of the authors of the groundbreaking papers this title offers a unique insight into a newly recognized immunity mechanism that complements our present view of the how the innate and possibly the adaptive immune system are shaped by cellular mechanisms. After a comprehensive introduction to autophagy it features all major pathogens, also covering emerging infectious diseases, e.g., tuberculosis.

Vojo Deretic is full professor and vice-chair at the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology of the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. From 1997 to 1999 he was Foundation Lecturer of the American Society for Microbiology. He published one of the groundbreaking papers on this topic in CELL.
