Immunology: A Concise Review offers the essential and basic
ideas of immunology as a quick reference for students,
practitioners, and veterinary technicians. Although concise, the
book is comprehensive and a knowledge of its contents will assure
the reader a relatively thorough understanding of what is
frequently a difficult subject.
The book covers all of the basics of immunology, including chapters on: the origin and function of hemopoietic and lymphopoietic cells; non-specific immunity; antigens; complement; cell receptors and cytokines associated with the immune response; specific immune responses; responses to bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths, and tumors. More advanced topics include: an examination of all four hypersensitivity reactions; autoimmunity; immune deficiency diseases; organ transplant and rejection; vaccination and immunization; and immunodiagnostic techniques.
Additionally, the book offers end of chapter glossaries and a cumulative glossary as well as explanatory black and white illustrations.
