General description
With more than 1100 computer-generated figures, line drawings, and photographs, this book clearly demonstrates that "a picture is worth a thousand words." Written for students, basic scientists, and clinicians, this second edition provides a thorough and up-to-date treatment of all the concepts needed to comprehend contemporary immunology. The coverage ranges from photographs of historical figures to molecular structures of recently characterized cytokines, major histocompatibility complex molecules, immunoglobulins, and molecules of related interest. It presents new topics in immunology, molecular structures, and mechanics of molecular and cellular interactions and serves as a valuable aid for surgical pathology through diagnostic immunohistochemistry while including all autoantibodies of significance in diagnostic immunopathology
