Innate immunity Specific acquired immunity Antibodies Membrane receptors for antigen Antigen-specific recognition Immunological methods and applications [JS2] The anatomy of the immune response Lymphocyte activation The production of effectors The regulation of the immune response Development and evolution of the immune response Adversarial strategies during infection Vaccines Immunodeficiency Allergy and other hypersensitivities Transplantation Tumor immunology Autoimmune diseases

Summary: "This book clearly explains the key principles needed by medical and health sciences students, from the basis of immunity to clinical applications. A brand new introduction sets the scene to section 1, Fundamentals of Immunology, introducing the microbial world and the strategies the body employs to defend itself. Each chapter then guides the reader through a different part of the immune system, and explains the role of each cell or molecule individually, and then as a whole. Section 2, Applied Immunology, discusses what happens when things go wrong, and the role the immune system plays alongside the damaging effects of a disease, including cancer, immunodeficiency, allergies and transplantation and the beneficial effects of vaccines."--Publisher
