- Summary
- Cellular and Molecular Immunology has been a resounding success through four previous editions. Readers worldwide have appreciated its concise, straightforward, and lucidly illustrated approach. This best-selling book 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. 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, and current introduction to this essential subject. The authors have meticulously honed the text to incorporate this wealth of new material without increasing the book's length. Thus, it remains the same compact, affordable resource that readers have always enjoyed!
