Description
This comprehensive textbook presents a systematic account of the effects, both good and bad, of the immune system. Special emphasis is placed on what the immune system actually does in causing and preventing disease. The fifth edition is divided into three parts discussing the fundamentals of immune mechanisms, the seven immunologic effector mechanisms contrasted and compared, and how the immune mechanisms act in disease and cancer. A new chapter on HIV infection and AIDS has been included.
