How the
Immune System Works is not a comprehensive textbook. It’s the book thousands of
students have used to help them understand what’s in their big, thick,
immunology texts. In this book, Dr. Sompayrac cuts through the jargon and
details to reveal, in simple language, the essence of this complex subject.
Fifteen easy
to follow lectures, featuring the uniquely popular humorous style and engaging
analogies developed by Dr Sompayrac, provide an introduction to the ‘bigger
picture’, followed by practical discussion on how each of the components
interacts with one another.
Now
featuring full-color diagrams, this book has been rigorously updated for its
fourth edition to reflect today’s immunology teaching and includes updated
discussion of B and T cell memory, T cell activation, vaccines,
immunodeficiency, and cancer.
Whether you
are completely new to immunology, or require a refresher, How the Immune System
Works is an enjoyable way of engaging with the key concepts – you need know
nothing of the workings of the immune system to benefit from this book!
How the
Immune System Works is now accompanied by a FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition

and images, highlighting and note taking facilities, book-marking,
cross-referencing, in-text searching, and linking to references and glossary
