Introducing clinical immunology, this text offers detailed instruction in immunobiology, lab methods and clinical serology, and is divided into three sections, covering the whole scope of clinical immunology. Coverage includes: immune reactions by the human host in response to a challenge; fundamental mechanisms of the immune system; antigens and antibodies and their interaction in serologic testing; the principles of "in vitro" serologic reactions and the sources of error and quality control in testing; and immunologic diseases in which measurement of an immune product or reaction is a significant tool for diagnosing or monitoring the disease. Features new to this edition include: chapter outlines; learning objectives; colour plates; review questions; and case studies. New chapters highlight: nucleic acid probes and blotting techniques; spriochetal infection and serology; Burrelia Burgdorfei infections and serology; and transplantations.
