This revised sourcebook on immunology seeks to reflect research and the improved understanding of immunoglobulins, B lymphocytes and T cells. There are new illustrations and chapters covering lymphocyte development and biology, lymphocyte activation, autoimmunity, apoptosis, regulatory cytokines, control of T cell phenotype, affinity maturation, cytotoxic T cells, immunotherapy, mucosal immunity, and the immunology of ageing. The accompanying CD-ROM provides full text, references, tables and illustrations, animated line drawings, an on-line link to the Internet, and a link from the end-of-chapter references to five journals.
