General description
This comprehensively revised edition 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. It includes a new glossary of terms and an appendix of immunologic laboratory techniques.
