Roitt's Essential Immunology, 13th Ed. - Delves, P. J.

Roitt's Essential Immunology - the textbook of choice for students
and instructors of immunology worldwide Roitt’s Essential
Immunology clearly explains the key principles needed by medical
and health sciences students, from the basis of immunity to
clinical applications. A brand new introduction sets the scene to
section 1, Fundamentals of Immunology, introducing the microbial
world and the strategies the body employs to defend itself. Each
chapter then guides the reader through a different part of the
immune system, and explains the role of each cell or molecule
individually, and then as a whole. Section 2, Applied Immunology,
discusses what happens when things go wrong, and the role the
immune system plays alongside the damaging effects of a disease,
including cancer, immunodeficiency, allergies and transplantation
and the beneficial effects of vaccines. The 13th edition continues
to be a user-friendly and engaging introduction to the workings of
the immune system, whilst supporting those who require a slightly
more detailed understanding of the key developments in immunology.
The content has been fully updated throughout and includes: An
expansion on key clinical topics, including: innate immunity,
autoimmune conditions, asthma, primary immunodeficiency, and
HIV/AIDS Beautifully presented with improved artwork and new
illustrations A range of learning features, including introduction
re-cap boxes, end of chapter and section summaries to aid revision,
as well as further reading suggestions, and a glossary to explain
