4.0 out of 5 stars Very good text book of immunology, June 14, 2000

This review is from: Basic and Clinical Immunology, 1e (Paperback)

I found this a very suitable text for the teaching of entry-level immunology as it is very clearly written and also amply illustrated with excellent graphics and flow diagrams. It has been a very well received set text (adopted since 1999) for the two immunology modules that we teach in our polytechnic diploma course in medical laboratory technology. My students, in particular, very much like the short summaries which are in point form for easy revision. One possible drawback is a missing chapter on commonly used techniques in diagnostic immunology - whilst this book is not intended as a manual of laboratory methods, we would have loved to read about the various principles & applications, explained in the authors' succinct style, thus making it a comprehensive text.
