Reviews of previous editions: 'A thoroughly comprehensive basic text in immunology, this book makes a singularly dull subject seem rather interesting' - Sphincter - Liverpool medical school gazette. 'A splendid small text. It has a good level of detail despite its brevity and it is well-illustrated with tables, diagrams and 'key points' boxes' - 2nd Opinion , Edinburgh Medical School Gazette. 'This book goes way beyond the scope of the pathology course but is so easy to use that it is highly recommended. An excellent new chapter on AIDS is included. Another great book from the Lecture Notes series' - St Thomas' Gazette .
