Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Human Immunology in 1997, major scientific achievements have elucidated our understanding of the complexities of the human immune system. This second edition compiles the major breakthroughs of the past decade including dramatic increases in the number of recognized clusters of differentiation on the surface of leukocytes and associated cells, establishment of an entire new chemokine and chemokine receptor nomenclature system, and discovery of more than 30 lymphokines. The text emphasizes clinically relevant immunological parameters, and clarifies the basic principles underlying immune system assays, as well as applications and interpretations of immune tests.
Summary: Immunology for the immunologist and non-immunologists
Rating: 4
As a new student to the feild of immunology, I was looking for a good, general, updated textbook that would bring me up to speed. There are some general immunogy texts out there however they are very non-reader friendly, especially for a novice in this field. So when I read the \"Handbook\" I was quite pleased to find it user-friendly to a newcomer or practicing clinitian. I would definitely recommend this book to my fellow students.
