This volume is organized to reflect current changes in teaching practice, emphasizing the conflict between man and microbe. Sections describe first the adversaries (the microbes and parasites versus the immune system), the conflicts (from adherance and entry to the uneasy truce between host and parasite), the consequences of the conflicts (the clinical manifestations of the conflict), and strategies for control at individual, hospital and community level.

Immunology at a Glance provides a user-friendly overview of the body’s defence mechanisms. Ideal from day one of a medical, biomedical or life science course, the text begins with a basic overview of both adaptive and innate immunity, before progressing to applied immunological concepts, which look at what happens when things go wrong, and how, in clinical medicine, each body system can be affected by immunity. Each double-page spread corresponds to a typical lecture and diagrammatically summarises core concepts in immunology, through accessible schematic diagrams on left-hand pages, with key points concisely summarised on the right-hand page. There are also self-assessment essay questions so you can test your knowledge. New for this 10th edition: <ul>
<li>Thoroughly updated and reorganised chapters offer greater clarity and easier understanding for those new to the subject</li> <li>New chapters on cytokine receptors and ‘Immunology in the Laboratory’</li> <li>A completely re-written section on autoimmunity</li> <li>A brand new companion website featuring self-assessment questions and PowerPoint slides of images from the book, ideal for teaching and revision at www.ataglanceseries.com/immunology</li> </ul>
Immunology at a Glance is the ideal companion for anyone about to start a new course in immunology and will appeal to medical and biomedical science students. Perfect for exam preparation, it provides the concepts and frameworks you need to succeed in your exam.

The "At a Glance" series sets out to summarize the essential information about a particular subject for the student requiring a quick introduction or a guide to revision. This is done by taking each aspect of the subject in turn and condensing it into a two-page spread with a schematic diagram on the left and a concise explanation on the right. This fifth edition of "Immunology At a Glance" presents a broad look at immunology with the aid of a series of sketches to show the mechanisms involved in immunological processes. Three new chapters on AIDS, the cytokine network and immunity, and hormones and the brain are included, and a new appendix covers CD classification of cell markers, and subjects covered in the remainder of the text include: the scope of immunology; cellular and hormonal factors; antibody formation, structure and function; immunology of infectious disease; immunology of cancer; hypersensitivity; autoimmunity; and immunodeficiency.

Immunology at a Glance, Seventh Edition

The At a Glance series sets out to summarise the essential information about a particular subject for the student requiring a quick introduction or a guide to revision. This is achieved by taking each part of the subject in turn and condensing it into a two-page spread with a schematic diagram on the left and a concise explanation on the right. This book presents a broad look at immunology with the aid of a series of thoughtfully constructed sketches to show the mechanisms involved in immunological processes. It covers: the scope of immunology cellular and hormonal factors immunology of infectious disease antibody formation, structure and function immunology of cancer hypersensitivity autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. The sixth edition features two new spreads on antigen recognition and processing, and cell interactions which together comprise the antibody response which is now divided into two sections. Throughout this new edition, the major emphasis has been the advances of our knowledge of the genetic basis of immunology. The appendix of CD classification has also been updated.
