Publisher's Synopsis
This addition to the Lecture Notes series provides a synoptic coverage of immunology as required for the biological sciences in general, and clinical, dental and veterinary medicine in particular. The book covers the immune system and how it works and progresses to the major areas of immunopathology, from immunodeficiency to transplantation. It is a coherent and contemporary text aimed at undergraduate students and gives a didactic rather than a discursive story line.
