Description
Immunology provides a thorough grounding in basic concepts of immunity. This comprehensive textbook covers the core components of the immunology curriculum at medical school, presenting a concise overview of the immune system and its interactions with pathogens. It also explores major areas of immunopathology, including immunodeficiency, allergy, autoimmunity, lymphoproliferative diseases, and transplantation, along with their therapy. The book features full-colour illustrations and diagrams throughout, supplemented by new molecular graphics and anatomical scans. Clinical cases are developed as themes to illustrate the practical application of immunological principles. With fully updated self-assessment questions and explanations, this resource helps you address key disorders of the immune system and apply immunological developments in clinical practice. Key concepts are guided through with learning objectives and key points, making it an invaluable tool for addressing the vital aspects of immunology.
