Summary
Dr. Jacqueline Sharon provides a well-organized, up-to-date perspective on immunology. You'll find concise material beginning with the molecular and cellular principles that determine the function of the immune system. These principles are then integrated to form the "big picture" with tissues and organs, and their interconnections in the body.
