Аннотация

This work is aimed at performing two main functions.

First, it is a brief guidebook on population structures and intercellular communication in microbial populations. This guidebook is mainly intended for students (bachelors and especially masters) majoring in immunology. Therefore, special attention will be paid to intercellular interactions implicated in the operation of the immune system. Even though much time will be spent on chiefly microbiological... (Подробнее)
