Charles A.Janeway,
Yale Univ., New Haven, CT. Introductory immunology textbook for medical students, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students.
Immunobiology, Sixth Edition guides the reader through the immune system in all its aspects
- from the first engagement of innate immunity to the generation of the adaptive immune
response and its clinical consequences. The Sixth Edition has been thoroughly revised and
updated, and now includes end-of-chapter questions. Immunobiology sets the standard for
currency and authority with its clear writing style and organization, full-color art program,
scientific accuracy, frequent updates, and consistent viewpoint - that of the host's
interaction with an environment containing many species of potentially harmful microorganisms.
The Sixth Edition of Immunobiology includes a CD-ROM with original immunological animations
based on figures in the book and videos selected from visually compelling experiments.
All the animations and videos are accompanied by a voice-over narration.
The CD also contains an archive of all the figures in the book,
loaded into PowerPoint presentations. There is one presentation for each chapter of the book,
and figures follow the order of the chapter.
