Immune Infertility: Impact of Immune Reactions on Human Fertility
Editat de Walter K.H. Krause, Rajesh K. Nazen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2018
This book offers comprehensive coverage of both basic and clinical aspects of immune reactions responsible for infertility. It has four sections focusing on Sperm antigens, Antisperm antibodies (ASAs), Clinical impact of ASAs, and Immune contraception, and include contributions from leading experts in these fields. This new edition of the book offers a comprehensive update that reflects the very significant advances in reproductive immunology that have been achieved over the past five years, especially related to the sperm proteome, sperm-egg binding/fusion proteins, gene knockout studies, and immunocontraception. Reproductive immunology continues to be a fast-growing discipline in which new knowledge is emerging almost every day. Immune Infertility is a model source of vital and reliable information on the latest scientific developments in the field. It will be of value for clinicians, scientists, students, residents, and fellows working in reproductive biology, obstetrics and gynecology, and urology.

Rajesh Kumar Naz is a Professor at West Virginia University, School of Medicine, Morgantown, WV, USA, where he is Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The objective of his research has been to develop novel, nonsteroidal contraceptives with microbicidal properties and methods for the specific diagnosis of and treatment modalities for vaginal infections and infertility in humans. Dr. Naz has trained over 58 postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. He is a member of 14 editorial boards of a number of journals. Dr. Naz has published more than 215 full-length peer-reviewed articles in prestigious journals and edited/authored eight books in the fields of immunocontraception and infertility. In 2011 he edited the special issue of the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology on contraceptive vaccines.

Recenzii
From the reviews:“The authors direct their work to clinicians, scientists, trainees in reproductive biology, obstetricians/gynecologists, and urologists. … This highly specialized field is clearly depicted with the aid of graphs, tables, schematic diagrams, and exquisite photomicrographs. … This is a unique, comprehensive, and cogent update of basic and therapeutic advances in the field of immunoinfertility.” (Irvin H. Hirsch, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2009)
