Immunology for Medical Students, Updated Edition: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access

By Matthew Helbert and Roderick Nairn

Book Overview

Joint Winner of The Richard Asher Prize at the Society of Authors and Royal Society of Medicine Medical Book Awards.

Presenting a unique balance between science and clinical relevance, this new text is a concise, well-illustrated overview of immunology for students. Focusing on what medical students need to know, it fills the niche for a reader-friendly, patient-oriented text in this challenging field. Clinical boxes include real patient scenarios, making the textbook interesting and relevant. Experimental detail is kept to a minimum, used only where it helps the student understand difficult concepts. It also provides a superb review of major components in immunological interaction: important molecules, specific immune response and role of innate response in complementing specific response, and immunity to microbes.
