Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An exceptionally lucid guide to the latest immunology concepts! Through five best-selling editions, readers worldwide have appreciated this book's in-depth yet straightforward, richly illustrated approach to this complex subject. Now, sweeping updates incorporate the latest discoveries about innate immunity, the organization of lymphoid organs, and many other cutting-edge topics. Plus, online access via STUDENT CONSULT makes this an even more powerful learning resource!

  • Clearly explains the experimental observations that form the basis for the science of immunology at the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism levels-and the conclusions that can be drawn from those observations.
  • Highlights the implications of immunologic science for the management of human disease, emphasizing the clinical relevance of the material.


  • Innate immunity chapter has been increased and moved to the beginning of the book to reflect how this area is newly recognized as a critical part of immunology.
  • New material has been added on:
    - recognition of microbial products by cytoplasmic and membrane sensors
    - intricate organization of lymphoid tissues
    - functional heterogeneity of subsets of dendritic cells and lymphocytes
    - roles of regulatory cells and inhibitory pathways in immune regulation.
  • Provides a wealth of excellent full-color photographs and illustrations that enable you to visualize immunologic processes quickly.
  • Includes highlighted "take-home messages" that make it easy to review key information.
  • Image Collection on Evolve




Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good price for a decent science textbook
It's fairly easy to read and does a good job of going into detail. Coupled with the price. I'd definitely recommend this book.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good book
It is a good immunology book, more suitable for a student who has some basic knowledge on immunology.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good update of current topics in immunology
The book includes updates of current topics in immunology. The on line access (new feature for this edition) give you the opportunity to check the book. It is good for copying images for power point presentations.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Everything you need and more
I was very glad that my undergraduate course in Immunology chose this textbook, because it has all you need to know and more to understand Immunology. A lot of my classmates and I found the text to be hard to read due to the fact that the material is very detailed and condensed, but the book is very well-laid out and describes the immune system well despite the inherent complexities involved. You might have to work hard to tie things together, but that's just the nature of the material since it's ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Book explains concepts well
Immunology is not an easy concept to digest at first, but luckily this book explains the difficult topics quite well. With any subject that deals with explaining molecular processes, both the descriptions and diagrams take great importance and I feel that this book for the most part addresses both very efficiently.
