Immunology is highly valued by medical students and medical science students everywhere for demystifying a complex and rapidly developing area of medicine. The book integrates basic and clinical immunology, providing up-to-date information that links the laboratory with clinical practice. It covers all the core immunology concepts that students need for their coursework, including immunity, immune responses, defence against infectious agents, and hypersensitivity. The book's structure makes it easy to understand, presenting immunology in the order that aligns with typical teaching methods. Ideal for USMLE and MLA preparation, it comes complete with accompanying online animations, cases studies, and self-assessment. |
