Lecture Notes on Immunology is a best-selling core text, providing a concise introduction to immunology. It focuses on basic science but informs the reader of the clinical relevance where appropriate for a clear understanding of the cells, molecules and processes of the immune system.

The book has been thoroughly updated to include new sections on: the interaction between innate and adaptive immunity; the roles and regulation of T-cell subpopulations, cytokines and adhesion molecules; genetic and environmental factors affecting susceptibility to infection, immunodeficiency and atopic disease.

• Written by a scientist and a scientist physician, resulting in a balanced text, relevant to medical students and allied health students.
  
• Takes an integrated approach combining basic science with clinical information: of value to students who need to know the clinical relevance of the basic science.

Review:

"A splendid small text. It has a good level of detail despite its brevity and it is well-illustrated with tables, diagrams and 'key points' boxes." 2nd Opinion, Edinburgh Medical School Gazette

"This book goes way beyond the scope of the pathology course but is so easy to use that it is highly recommended. An excellent new chapter on AIDS is included. Another great book from the Lecture Notes series." St Thomas' Gazette

"...a well-balanced coverage of the core knowledge required by medical students." Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology

"The book is well presented with numerous diagrams and tables interspersing the text, which itself is divided neatly into sections each with its own subtitle. A helpful summary follows each chapter which helps you make sure that you have grasped the salient points." Murmur, Cambridge University Medical Gazette

"Lecture Notes on Immunology will be an excellent contribution to your immunology course." Queen's Medical Magazine, Birmingham Medical School Gazette

"A thoroughly comprehensive basic text in immunology, this book makes a singularly dull subject seem rather interesting." Sphincter - Liverpool medical school gazette
