- Summary:
- "Immunology: A Short Course" provides an overview of the physiology of the immune system and pathophysiology of a broad range of immune-related diseases, offering accessible and comprehensive guidance to the basic concepts and clinical approaches in the discipline. This textbook has been fully updated to reflect our expanded knowledge of how the immune system develops and functions, and the ways in which these physiological phenomena can fail or be compromised. New chapters examine cells and organs of the immune system, organization and expression of lymphocyte antigen receptor genes, experimental systems and methods, and B- and T-cell development activation. -- From publisher's description.
