Cellular and Molecular Immunology Summary

Cellular and Molecular Immunology by Abul K. Abbas

This 2nd edition combines basic science with clinical issues to promote a modern understanding of immunology. Covers vocabulary, general principles, and experimental basis of modern immunology. Contains a new chapter on functional anatomy of immune responses, including regional immunity (such as the cutaneous and mucosal immune systems). A slide set is available.
