内容説明

"Immunology at a Glance" provides a concise, and accessible introduction and revision aid for undergraduate medical and science students. Following the familiar, easy-to-use at a Glance format, each topic is presented as a double-page spread with key facts accompanied by clear, informative line diagrams illustrating the essential points. This new edition of "Immunology at a Glance": contains a second colour throughout to enhance the visual appeal, making the subject even easier to understand; presents schematic diagrams on the left page and concise explanations of the right, showing the mechanisms involved in immunological processes; has been thoroughly revised and updated with brand new information on - recognition and receptors immunity and clinical medicine."Immunology at a Glance" will continue to appeal to all students of biomedical science and medicine who want a quick, yet thorough grasp of immunology. Reviews of the last edition: 'It is pitched at the right level for 2nd MB students and will also act as a useful reminder to those students embarking on Part IV Pathology' - St. Mary's Hospital Gazette. 'Professor Playfair has succeeded in offering a condensed, readable notebook or dictionary of immunology whose greatest worth rests with the simple yet intricate figures which highlight the 34 chapters' - "Trends in Biotechnology" on the fourth edition.
