The new edition of Immunology builds on the tradition of fine teaching and scientific excellence established by Janis Kuby in the first three editions and carried forward by new authors Richard Goldsby, Thomas Kindt, and Barbara Osborne in the previous edition. By presenting essential immunology concepts in an experimental context, supported by innovative pedagogy, the book brings students the latest scientific discoveries and clinical advances from the field in the most accessible format available.
