Description
Extensively updated, with new contributors, brilliant new illustrations and a wealth of supporting material online, this 7th edition offers
you a carefully structured approach to learning the building blocks of the immune system as well as initiation and actions of the immune
response. The website which accompanies this text gives access to all the images in the book, up to 20 detailed animation sequences (which
link to further supporting text, illustrations, molecular models and video clips), 8 lectures which explain how the immune system responds
to different infections or to tissue grafts, and a test bank of 300 USMLE-style questions.
