内容説明

This board review volume gives students questions and answers in immunology. The book not only tests, but teaches and can be used alongside any immunology textbook. It provides the correct and incorrect answers, and explains why particular learning responses are right or not. Multiple questions on each topic enable the student to use this book over and over again and ensure a thorough review of this complex and ever-changing subject. For each topic, selected questions refer to essential facts - the core of the subject for the National Boards.
