Publisher's Synopsis
This major new edition of the textbook has been completely re-written to reflect the recent advances made in immunology, particularly at the molecular level. The book provides in-depth description of all the processes involved in immune reactions. As in the first edition, unique new conceptual illustrations, with informative captions, tie in with the text to provide a comprehensive account for students of immunology, postgraduates and teaching immunologists. It should also be of interest to clinicians requiring a good understanding of the basis of immunolgical causes.
