基本説明
Features: succinct presentation of the anatomy of the immune system and cellular interactions of the immune response; emphasis on immune reactions as variations on a theme of inflammation; separate chapters on immune-mediated skin diseases, leukemias and lymphomas, and more.
Full Description
A systematic account of the effects, both good and bad, of the immune system. * Covers what the immune system actually does in causing and preventing disease. * Discusses inflammation, the fundamentals of the immune system and how it is activated, the seven immune effector mechanisms, and how these effector mechanisms act not only to protect against infection and cancer but also to cause diseases. * Serves as a resource for physicians, medical students, graduate students, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, teachers of immunology, and advanced courses in immunology. This title is published by the American Society for Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
