Encyclopedia of Immunology, 2

ROITT, IVAN M.

Reference

Academic Press

A major revision of a classic textbook with every chapter brought fully up-to-date, incorporating every significant advance since the 1989 publication of the second edition. One specific advance covered is the development in understanding of the precise molecular interactions of the antibody-antigen binding site. Some chapters have been amalgamated (eg MHC, Immunoglobins and TCRS) to make room for two new chapters - immunodeficiency and cell migration and inflammation. The text and illustrations in all chapters have been thoroughly vetted by professional science writer Linda Gamlin. She aims to make the text accessible, rectifying criticisms levelled at the second edition of inconsistent style and over academic prose. It features clear page design and every illustration is close to its reference in the text.

Essential immunology

Blackwell Scientific Publications

Innate immunity now forms the foundation of the discussion of the physiological basis of immunological systems, and in the section on antigen recognition, B- and T-cells are treated in parallel. While dealing with the acquired immune response, a large new section looks at lympho-proliferative disorders arising as unregulated cell development, and in the chapters on immunity to infection, a more expansive treatment of immunodeficiency has been included. The treatment of autoimmunity has been restructured, and includes an account of recent developments in the understanding of the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. This revised reprint of the sixth edition contains new diagrams and additions to the text, as well as an expanded coverage of AIDS.

Advances in immunological knowledge have necessitated radical revision of major sections of the sixth edition of this book. In particular, there are new models and therapies for the treatment of AIDS. The book adopts a conceptual approach to the whole of immunology, and is developed with themes and threads being woven from chapter to chapter. This book is intended for those studying immunology - medical, dental and veterinary school undergraduates, and biochemistry students.

Essential Immunology, Seventh Edition

Blackwell Science

Designed to accompany "Essential Immunology", this four-volume slide atlas closely follows the framework of the book. Each side has a heading to focus attention on the information being presented, and there is a handbook which contains notes for each slide to assist presentations. All major areas of immunology are covered, including innate and acquired immunity, the immunologically relevant cells and tissues, the recognition of antigens, the development and control of immune responses, immunity to infection, vaccination, immunodeficiencies, allergy, autoimmunity, transplantation, tumour immunology, and immunological assays and tests.
