There can be few subjects that so obviously demand such an approach. Immunology overlaps with the biological disciplines of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, physiology, microbiology and parasitology — relying on methods and concepts derived from these disciplines, and in turn contributing to them. After describing the components of the immune system, and explaining how they interact, the author goes on to discuss the many important applications of immunology in laboratory techniques and in medicine. In addition to this ‘introductory’ material, the book considers new, and likely future developments — giving the reader a taste of the rapid rate of progress in this important field. The author’s clear and concise text is supported by a wealth of illustrations (most in two-colour), self-assessment questions and a comprehensive index — making this an essential text for all life science students entering this field, or for health practitioners seeking to update their knowledge.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eImmunity to Infection.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Innate Immunity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Cells of Adaptive Immunity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Molecules of Adaptive Immunity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Collaboration and Escape.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Antigens.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Applications of Antigen Recognition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maturation of the Adaptive Response.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Regulation of the Immune Response.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Disorders of Immunity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Self Assessment Questions (SAQs).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Answers to SAQs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Optional Further Reading.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Biology, life sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biology, life sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biology,%20life%20sciences%20%5BPS%5D%22\"\u003ePS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298070622488,"sku":"9780471932123","price":156.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471932123.jpg?v=1781734430","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/immunology-a-foundation-text-paperback-softback-9780471932123","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
