Immunology at a Glance

Immunology at a Glance

by Benjamin Chain (Author), J.H.L. Playfair (Author)

Synopsis

The "At a Glance" series summarise essential information about a particular subject for the student requiring a quick introduction or a guide to revision. This is achieved by taking each part of the subject in turn and condensing it into a two-page spread with a schematic diagram on the left and a concise explanation on the right. This book presents a broad look at immunology with the aid of a series of thoughtfully constructed sketches to show the mechanisms involved in immunological processes. It covers: the scope of immunology, cellular and hormonal factors, immunology of infectious disease antibody formation, structure and function, immunology of cancer hypersensitivity, autoimmunity and immunodeficiency, antigen recognition and processing, and cell interactions. After six editions, a new author has been brought in to co-author the new edition which is updated with new sections on transplantation immunology, in vivo immune manipulation and chemokines in inflammation.
