Immunology: A Short Course has long offered students a uniquely balanced text that uses both classical and contemporary elements to present basic scientific and clinical perspectives. Now in its fifth edition, the text has been extensively revised to reflect recent advances in the field of immunology. As in previous editions, the strength of the text is in its complete coverage of all key topics in modern immunology without excessive detail or theoretical discussion. Each chapter is divided into short, self-contained units that address key topics and reinforce them with clear, uniformly drawn, full-color illustrations.

Eminently suitable for undergraduate, graduate, and medical students, the Fifth Edition features: An all-new chapter on immuno-based therapies and other real-world applications A completely rewritten complement chapter Numerous all-new, full-color illustrations in a consistent style An all-new companion book of case studies
