Product Description
Review
“The material is presented in an easy to read fashion, and new advances in the field are discussed.” (Doody's, April 2009)
Book Description
Immunology: A Short Course, Sixth Edition introduces all the critical topics of modern immunology in clear and succinct yet comprehensive fashion. The authors offer a uniquely balanced coverage of classical and contemporary approaches, basic and clinical aspects. As with the previous editions, the strength of the text is in a complete review of modern immunology without burdening the reader with excessive data or theoretical discussions. Each chapter is divided into short, self-contained units that address key topics illustrated by uniformly drawn, full-color illustrations, many brand new to this edition. The sixth edition of this successful textbook newly covers:
- Toll-like receptors, their ligands and intracellular activation pathways
- The key role of activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination.
- The autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene in self-tolerance and autoimmunity
- T and B cell activation and the immunological synapse, as well as characterization and mechanisms of action of T regulatory cells
Praise for the previous edition:
"This book is clearly a precious resource for undergraduate, graduate and medical students alike… For those who need an introduction to the fascinating world of immunology, this book should most certainly spark the interest."
ANNALS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
"… an excellent beginner's guide… the authors have done a terrific job of providing an overview of the field."

1.0 out of 5 stars
Horrible Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Immunology: A Short Course, 4th Edition (Paperback)
This is one of the worst textbooks I've ever read. I bought this book for my M1 Immuno class and threw it away after a week. The explainations are poor at best and the pictures are pathetic.
5.0 out of 5 stars
You won't regret it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Immunology: A Short Course (Paperback)
This book is simple and informative. If you are feeling overwhelmed by immunology and need a foundation that will make you feel prepared for more advanced material this is the book for you. The figures are awesome.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent!!! There is no other word for it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Immunology: A Short Course (Paperback)
This book is excellent as an introductory textbook of immunology. I teach 1st year medical students immunology and have very little curriculum time to do this. The 5th edition of Immunology: A Short Course covers all the essential material without making it needlessly cumbersome. I recommend it without reservation.
