The classic immunology resource returns with up-to-the-minute coverage and a new emphasis on immune suppression and regulatory T cells. The text lays a basic foundation for the study of immunology and discusses the structure and function of the molecular components of immunity. Major sections provide pertinent information on systemic and organ-specific autoimmunity; transplantation and tumor immunology; viruses, bacteria, and parasites; primary immunodeficiency diseases and the immunopathogenesis of HIV infection; and vaccines. The Fifth Edition contains new chapters on neuro-immunology and immunotherapy, and many other chapters have been completely updated and rewritten
