Taccioli -- Antigens, antigenicity, and immunogenicity / Gerald B.

Wetzler -- The t-cell receptor / Howard Ceri and Chris Mody -- T-cell maturation and activation / Gerald B. Pier, Howard Ceri, Chris Mody, and Michael Preston -- Cellular communication / Arthur O. Tzianabos and Lee M. Wetzler.
Cell-mediated immunity / William R. Green -- Mucosal immunity / Scott Simpson and Lee M. Wetzler -- Immunity to bacterial infections / Gerald B. Pier -- Immunity to viruses / Edward Barker -- Immunity to parasitic and fungal infections / Judith E. Allen and Leo X. Liu -- Vaccines and vaccination / Gerald B. Pier -- Immunology and aids / Saskia Boisot and Gerald B. Pier -- Clinical and genetic perspectives in primary immunodeficiency disorders / Jeff Milunsky and Stephen I. Pelton -- Cancer and the immune system / Lisa H. Butterfield, Stephen P. Schoenberger, and Jeffrey B. Lyczak -- Hypersensitivity / J. Patrick Whelan and Carolyn L. Cannon -- Autoimmunity and disease / Harley Y. Tse and Michael K. Shaw -- Transplantation immunology / Anil Chandraker and Mohamed H. Sayegh.
Summary: Covers both the foundation concepts of immunology, among the most exciting in modern biology and medicine, and their application to the real world of diseases and health. This new text combines clear narratives of how the immune system functions relying in many instances on supporting data from experiments. The editors use examples and illustrations depicting basic immunologic processes in conjunction with their role in infectious or other diseases in order to teach both basic and applied aspects of immunology. Ideally suited for upper division and graduate level students as well as medical and dental students with a good background in basic biology, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology, the text complements traditional views and dogmas about immunology with today's cutting edge ideas and experimental data describing how the immune system works.
