About this book

This is a concise text in immunology for medical students. It covers cellular, humoral and clinical immunology. Each chapter begins with a definition of objectives followed by clearly illustrated descriptions of immunologic mechanisms. The clinical implications of the information in each chapter are addressed. The chapters devoted to clinical immunology "walk" students through sample cases to assist in making a diagnosis.
