Book info: Basic and Clinical Immunology: with STUDENT CONSULT access (Paperback, 376 pages) – Churchill Livingstone, 2009. Language: English.

Within this one volume both basic science and clinical immunology are demystified for the medical and other health sciences student. The basic immunological processes are described first, with a level of detail restricted to what is appropriate for medical (and similar) curricula. In the second part of the book, immunological mechanisms behind major diseases of the various body systems are explained. Throughout the text clinical details are highlighted and more in-depth material is differentiated from the main text.

• Specifically aimed at medical students and appropriate for integrated system-based curricula
• Main text supported by 'in depth', key point and clinical boxes
• Now full-colour throughout
• Specialised material removed and replaced with clearer introductory explanations
• Clearer illustrations, thanks to rewritten captions

Editorial Reviews Review "This book was a joy to read and both authors deserve credit for putting across difficult concepts of immunology in a very simple and effective way...This book is highly recommended to medical students, trainee clinical scientists and speciality medical trainees to master the concepts of basic immunology."
