- Explains the building blocks of the immune system
- cells, organs, and major receptor molecules - as well as initiation
and actions of the immune response, especially in a clinical context.
- Includes extensive updates to clinical information, including recent clinical approaches in cancer immunology, transplantation, autoimmunity, hypersensitivity, and more.
- Features a reorganized format
that presents immunology in the order in which is typically taught and
learned, better integrating basic and clinical immunology.
- Covers new topics
such as innate lymphoid cells, antibody-based therapies and antibody
engineering, innate immunity and its components, the genetics of
immunologically-based diseases and personalized medicine, and
immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer.
