	Reviews ’This volume provides fascinating reviews of the recent work on bacterial and viral superantigens that bind intact to MHC class II molecules and trigger T cells by interacting with the T cell receptor V domain. In addition, studies on B cell superantigens that bind to immunoglobulin and so may activate or lead to apoptosis of B cells are covered… …The volume is definitely also worthy of institutional purchase and would be a valuable resource for academics, as well as postgraduate and undergraduate students working in the fileds of micrbiology or immunology.’ Ann Pullen, University of Bristol Microbiology Today, Nov. 2007 ’The book is very current, being published in 2007, with recent clinical and molecular findings on the superallergen/superantigen concept. Although it is not a cookbook for diagnostic techniques or any standard operational procedure, it has significance in a wide range of diagnostic principles. It would be of practical relevance in the future as laboratory science advances. The capacity to refresh and update every reader is an immediate benefit. There are intriguing questions that would stir up research, which makes it recommendable especially to researchers and trainers.’ (Australian Journal of Medical Science, vol. 29, No. 2, 2008)
