Synopsis

For this edition, the rapid advance of immunology has necessitated a complete revision of the text with the addition of 230 new entries, many in the rapidly developing fields of cellular immunology and immunogenetics. Some old entries, not strictly immunological, have been dropped, but care has been taken to retain and revise all those likely to be of value to those reading the literature of the science. The breadth of the definitions makes this book more than a dictionary but, rather, a readable piece of literature on immunology for beginner or expert.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is the fourth edition of a well-established dictionary of Immunology which has been completely revised and updatedto include key terms arising from new discoveries in the fast-developing fields of molecular and cellular immunology. It also contains brief descriptions of the most commonly used immunological techniques, as well as definitions, useful in clinical immunology, of immunodeficiency states, autoimmune diseases etc. Clear illustrations and tables have been added to illustrate the text where appropriate. The book should be readily understandable by anyone with a background in biology and many of the definitions should be understandable to the general reader, especially as terms are extensively cross-referenced.It should be useful to those attending immunological meeting or reading immunological journals, especially as scientists communicating to specialized audiences rarely define their terms.It will also be invaluable to undergraduate and postgraduate students in biological and medical sciences, since immunological methods, such as use of monoclonal antibodies, are in wide use throughout biology and medicine.

* Special Features:
* Radical revision, including addition of 30% new terms.
