ABOUT THE BOOK
Immunology: A Comprehensive Review offers the essential ideas of immunology as a quick reference for students, practitioners, and veterinary technicians.
This concise student supplementary text covers all of the basics of immunology, including chapters on the origin and function of hemopoietic and lymphopoietic cells; non-specific immunity; antigens; complement; cell receptors and cytokines associated with the immune response; specific immune responses; responses to bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminthes, and tumors. The organization follows a natural progression, beginning with basic concepts and proceeding to what immunity does to protect the body and what happens when things go wrong.
* Up-to-date chapters covering all aspects of immunology
* A thorough discussion of immunodiagnostic techniques and AIDS
* Excellent figures and tables illustrating principles and summarizing data
* End-of-chapter glossaries supplementing the cumulative glossary
* A comprehensive list of Milestones in Immunology
Immunology: A Comprehensive Review will greatly aid students in grasping this difficult and important subject.

About the Book
Immunology is one of the most fascinating scientific disciplines. Researches in Immunology have made almost incredible strides in the past few decades. The quantity and complexity of information is steadily increasing, and students and already overburdened with material to remember. Effects have been made to avoid over-burdening the students with information. Many of the omissions are intentional to make the text selective. The aim is to enthuse the reader with this active and exciting area of research and to lay a solid foundation on which further study of its various facets may be based. The book is organized in twenty one chapters and many of them are chiefly emphasized. These include: Cells of The Immune System, Immunogens and Antigens, Infections and Immunity, Inflammation, Cell Mediated Immunity, Vaccination, Hypersensitivity, Cell Injury, Wound Infection and Death, Immunological Techniques, and Immunity to Cancer.
