Summary

"This book explains the experimental observations that form the basis for the science of immunology at the molecular, cellular, and whole organism level - and the conclusions that can be drawn from those observations. It highlights the implications of immunologic science for the management of human disease, emphasizing the clinical relevance of the material. The result is an accessible, engaging, introduction to this subject."--BOOK JACKET.
