Lecture Notes: Immunology Summary

Lecture Notes: Immunology by Ian Todd

This introductory text provides a student-friendly review of essential immunity and immunopathology topics. Key concepts are introduced in an incremental fashion to provide a thorough overview of the field. Closely tailored to the undergraduate immunology curriculum, Part 1 outlines basic immunology, while Part 2 covers more disease-related and clinical aspects. The new edition of this popular title features a fully updated overview of the roles and regulation of the cells and molecules of the immune system. Key point summaries have been expanded, and key objectives added to the start of each chapter, to help the reader focus on the essential take-home messages. Readers can then test themselves using the brand new self-assessment section containing problem-solving questions and extended matching questions (EMQs). Including simple, memorable illustrations and quick reference tables, Lecture Notes: Immunology provides the perfect distillation of information for easy recall at revision time, and is ideal for both the novice and those with some prior knowledge of the field.

Lecture Notes: Immunology Reviews

For its price and size, it would be useful for most students, particularly in conjunction with lecture notes. Immunology is a rapidly changing discipline and this new edition is well justified. (Doody's, 30 September 2011) Now in its 6th edition this book is an excellent introduction to core immunological knowledge as well as a revision text...This book should appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students of medical, nursing and biological sciences. (G.J.Ebrahim, December 2010)
