Immunology and Inflammation: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Consequences

By Leonard H. Sigal

Designed to meet the needs of the student, this textbook presents an integrated introduction to the basic science and clinical applications of contemporary immunology. The book has four basic aims: to ground the student in the basic principles of immunology; to demonstrate how immunologic mechanisms prevent and produce human disease; to foster problem-solving skills; and to expose the student to the new technology in use in research, and demonstrate its applications to clinical medicine. Throughout the book, a wide range of pedagogical aids are featured to assist the student's learning. Each chapter includes an introductory overview, learning objectives, clinical case studies, review questions and detailed references to the literature.
