hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 2014 signed and inscribed first edition, association copy (1977 Nobel winner Roger Guillemin), 7 x 9 7/8 inches tall color pictorial hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), illustrated with color and black-and-white diagrams and drawings, index, xii, 296 pp. Laid in is a slip reading, 'From the Private Colllection of Dr. Roger and Lucienne Guillemin, Nobel Laureate, 1977, Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA.' Roger Charles Louis Guillemin (1924-2024) was a French-American neuroscientist who received the National Medal of Science in 1976, and the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1977 for his work on neurohormones. Very slight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers. On the title page, nicely signed by author Douglas Lappi and inscribed to Guillemin, widely considered the 'father of neuroendocrinology' and winner of the Nobel prize for medicine. Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~SP19~ [2.5P] This important reference provides information on all aspects of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs). Including a list of all known RIPs, their distribution in nature, structure, genetics and chemical and immunological properties, this reference covers mechanisms of action, including the enzymatic activity on various polynucleotide substrates; the interaction with, and entry into cells; the toxicity to animals, including the pathology of poisoning; and the immunomodulatory and allergenic activity. The book further emphasizes the use of immunotoxins and other conjugates in clinical trials for the therapy of cancer and intractable pain.
