More than fundamental

This is, undoubtdly, the most complete guide for immunology. It shows all aspects of the issue, including biochemistry and disease context. Futhermore, the interaction between innate response and adaptive response is aborded, once is rarely showed by the other books. I do recommend!

Very useful

If you have lot of time to read, yes, this book is a MUST. But if you have 40 exams plus practices plus meetings plus, plus, plus.....Kuby is a good option. Anyway, never trust only in a single book. Ana Laura Fazio MSc. Immunology

excellent

the next best thing to actually following the literature. a great way to get a background in a less familiar topic.

It can be used as a dictionary.

It is not recommended as a text book, but is as a dictionary. Because it contains many informations about immunology and few illastlations.
