In print and online with additional resources, this is the up-to-date and readable textbook you need to stay current with the latest discoveries in immunology and molecular biology.
• Stay abreast of the latest advances in immunology and molecular biology through extensive updates that cover cytokines, innate immunity, leukocyte-endothelial interactions, signaling, costimulation, and more.
• Visualize immunologic processes more effectively through a completely revised art program with redrawn figures, a brighter color palette, and more three-dimensional art.
Find information more quickly and easily through a reorganized chapter structure and a more logical flow of material.
• Access the fully searchable text online at, along with an image bank, animations, self-assessment questions, additional tables, and a glossary of immunology terms.
• Recognize the clinical relevance of immunology through discussions of the implications of immunologic science for the management of human disease.
• Grasp the details of experimental observations that form the basis for the science of immunology at the molecular, cellular. and whole-organism levels and draw the appropriate conclusions.
