Immunology

The liberal use of lucid, colourful diagrams explaining the main points and key concepts of immunology sets this book apart from other texts. Concise text describes immunologic mechanisms and their purpose or importance while illustrations display the complex structures, processes and interactions. Clarity has been enhanced in the fourth edition with more consistency in reading level and added pedagogy.

Extensively updated, with new contributors, brilliant new illustrations and a wealth of supporting material online, this 7th edition offers you a carefully structured approach to learning the building blocks of the immune system, as well as initiation and actions of the immune response. The website which accompanies this text gives access to all the images in the book, up to 20 detailed animation sequences (which link to further supporting text, illustrations, molecular models and video clips), 8 lectures which explain how the immune system responds to different infections or to tissue grafts, and a test bank of over 200+ multiple choice and 100 USMLE-style questions.
