How the Immune System Works is not a comprehensive
textbook. It's the book thousands of students have used
to help them understand what's in their big, thick,
immunology texts. In this book, Dr. Sompayrac cuts
through the jargon and details to reveal, in simple
language, the essence of this complex subject. Fifteen
easy to follow lectures, featuring the uniquely popular
humorous style and engaging analogies developed by Dr
Sompayrac, provide an introduction to the 'bigger
picture', followed by practical discussion on how each
of the components interacts with one another. Now
featuring full-color diagrams, this book has been
rigorously updated for its fourth edition to reflect
today's immunology teaching and includes updated
discussion of B and T cell memory, T cell activation,
vaccines, immunodeficiency, and cancer. Whether you are
completely new to immunology, or require a refresher,
How the Immune System Works is an enjoyable way of
engaging with the key concepts - you need know nothing
of the workings of the immune system to benefit from
this book!How the Immune System Works is now accompanied
by a FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition - the
interactive, digital version of the book - featuring
downloadable text and images, highlighting and note
taking facilities, book-marking, cross-referencing,
in-text searching, and linking to references and
