内容説明

Provides concentrated information on structures and interactions of the immune system predominantly in the form of tables, figures, and schematic diagrams. Not only the userfriendly way in which the information is compiled, but also the comprehensive nature of the information on the complicated structure and networks in immunology, guarantee rapid access to relevant data in immunology.
