Cellular & Molecular Immunology,8/e
Popular for its highly visual, straightforward approach, Cellular and Molecular Immunology delivers an accessible yet
thorough understanding of this active and fast-changing field. Drs. Abul K. Abbas, Andrew H. Lichtman, and Shiv Pillai
present key s in this new edition to cover the latest developments in antigen receptors and signal transduction in
immune cells, mucosal and skin immunity, cytokines, leukocyte-othelial interaction, and more. With additional online
features, this is an ideal resource for medical, graduate and undergraduate students of immunology who need a clear,
introductory text for immunology courses.
[New To This Edition]
Glean all essential, up-to-date, need-to-know information about immunology and molecular biology through extensive s
that cover cytokines, innate immunity, leukocyte-othelial interactions, signaling, costimulation, and more.
Benefit from numerous new figures and s that facilitate easier retention of the material quick summaries of each
chapter and nearly 400 illustrations that clarify key concepts.
[Key Featrues]
-Develop a thorough, clinically relevant understanding of immunology through a clear overview of immunology with a
distinct focus on the management of human disease.
-Visualize immunologic processes more effectively. Meticulously developed and d illustrations, 3-dimensional art, and
all-new online animations provide a detailed, visual deion of the key immunologic and molecular processes.
-Grasp the details of experimental observations that form the basis for the science of immunology at the molecular,
cellular, and whole-organism levels and draw the appropriate conclusions.
-Find information more quickly and easily through an organized chapter structure and a more logical flow of material.
-Access to StudentConsult and Evolve provides a rich online experience for students and instructors alike including
searchable content, question banks, animations, and more.
