The defining reference work in immunology today is now available in an entirely new text! This edition places greater emphasis on molecular mechanisms underlying cellular function and physiology, and includes outstanding new chapters on neuroimmunology and immunotherapy...completely updated coverage of immune suppression and regulatory T cells...and new and expanded chapters on lymphocytes, the immunology of aging, autoimmunity, and more.
A free CD-ROM provides one-click access to all of the content and illustrations from the text—plus Internet links to PubMed and 50 other sites.
This book is in many respects the Immunology equivalent of the G&G pharmacology bible. Or in other words: if you do Immunology for a living, this book should always be within reach. Just like G&G's book, Fundamental Immunology started out in the same way the "encyclopedia" started in the Age of Enlightment: a compendium of all the knowledge available. With the exponential expansion of both Pharmacology and Immunology, these disciplines no longer fit in one, ten, or even a hundred volumes each, and tough choices have to be made. In Paul's FI, these choices are very much geared towards the professional, and far less so to the student. Yet, many of the subjects are treated in a way that not only incorperates much of the up to date details, but also gives thorough treatment of the fundamental concepts behind them. Thus, this book should also be the text of choice for those students that have sufficient tutoring resources available to guide them through the maze of the wild and wonderful world of Immunology.
