Features
- Presents all of the most important principles that govern the function of the immune system.
- Extrapolates key concepts from the vast amount of experimental data that has emerged.
- Focuses on the cellular interactions in immune responses rather than describing in detail many of the underlying biochemical and molecular mechanisms.
- Emphasizes immune responses in human rather than experimental animals, drawing upon parallels with experimental situations only when necessary.
- Uses clear, crisp illustrations, diagrams, figures, charts and tables to highlight important principles.
- Illustrates how the principles of immunology may be applied to common human diseases through clinical cases in the Appendix.
- Features an easy-to-read layout; summarizes chapter content in bulleted lists accompanied by review questions; and offers a list of selected readings.
- Includes access to www.studentconsult.com, an innovative website that allows you to build a personalized, fully integrated, online library, where you'll find...
- The entire contents of every STUDENT CONSULT title you purchase.
- Integration links to bonus content in other STUDENT CONSULT titles.
