Description
General description In this edition, authors describe the principles of basic and applied immunology in a concise manner, while incorporating the latest advances in basic science as well as the newest reserach findings. With over 400 illustrations, the entire text has been revised and includes new information about the organization of lymphoid organs and the mechanisms of innate immunity It also includes more straightforward explanations of complex subjects such as antigen presenting cells and the biology of T cell activation..
