- Summary:
- Cellular and Molecular Immunology has been a resounding success through five best-selling editions. Readers worldwide have appreciated its in-depth yet straightforward, richly illustrated approach to this complex subject. This thoroughly revised and updated 6th Edition clearly explains the experimental observations that form the basis for the science of immunology at the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism levels-and the conclusions that can be drawn from those observations. It highlights the implications of immunologic science for the management of human disease, emphasizing the clinical relevance of the material. Inside, you'll find...: Greatly expanded, cutting-edge information on innate immunity-now recognized as a major topic in immunology. New information about T lymphocyte subsets (including regulatory T cells), cytokines, lymphocyte migration, and many other important topics. A wealth of excellent full-color photographs and illustrations that enable you to visualize immunologic processes quickly. "Take-home message" summaries that make it easy to review key information. Turn to Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 6th Edition for an accessible and engaging way to master the latest immunology knowledge.
