How the Immune System Works, Sixth Edition

Course overview

In this text, Dr. Sompayrac cuts through the jargon to reveal, in simple language, the essence of this complex subject: how the immune system fits together, how it protects us from disease, and, perhaps most importantly, why it works the way it does. Featuring D. Sompayracs lively prose and engaging analogies (he is funny), How the Immune System Works has been rigorously updated, including the latest information on vaccines, immunological memory, and cancer. A highlight of this edition is a new chapter on immunotherapies, currently one of the hottest topics in immunology.
