Immunology: A Short Course
provides an overview of the physiology of the immune system and the
pathophysiology of a broad range of immune-mediated diseases, offering
accessible and comprehensive guidance to the basic concepts and clinical

expression of lymphocyte antigen receptor genes, experimental systems
and methods, and B- and T-cell development activation. Helping students
gain an integrated understanding of immunology, this textbook:
- Offers
substantial new and revised material, expanded clinical coverage,
enhanced pedagogical features, and updated figures, tables, and
references
- Features recent research advances and therapeutic successes in the field of immunology
- Includes
a companion website containing multiple choice questions, electronic
flashcards, downloadable figures, PowerPoint slides, and sample cases
- Can be supplemented with the Clinical Cases in Immunology companion book
The eighth edition of Immunology: A Short Course is
an ideal resource for life and health science students, dental and
nursing students seeking a short course text, and basic scientists and
clinical researchers looking to refresh their knowledge in the subject.
