8th edition. An introductory textbook for students of immunology
from undergraduates up, it guides the reader through the immune
system in all its aspects. The content has been completely updated,
and there are new illustrations throughout.
"Janeway's Immunobiology" is an introductory text
which 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.
"Janeway's Immunobiology" continues to set the
standard for currency and authority with its clear writing style
and organization, full-color art program, scientific accuracy and
consistent viewpoint - that of the host's interaction with an
environment containing many species of potentially harmful
microbes.
