Good for med students

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2012

Verified Purchase

I used this as a med student taking during our immuno block and felt it was really helpful. I agree with some of the other reviews that say this book leaves out some details, but I think that's actually why this book is better in some regards. Depending on how your course is run you might need something more indepth if your school really emphasizes immuno or or if you're a phd or if you're planning to do research in immuno this probably isn't for you. For me, our block was relatively short and while I started out reading Janeway's, I just didn't have the time. This book had nice illustrations which helped to explain many mechanisms and organize topics, and most of all was a concise read that got to the point. I didn't really use this to review much for step 1 but after studying for it and taking it, I think this is more than sufficient to prep for the immuno questions that would be asked on step 1.

Really Basic Immunology for Scientists

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book is excellent for a good start in you Immunology course, but as your knowledge deepens, you get trapped in simplistic explanations that leave out a lot of important information. Also, the images have great explanation texts but are not easily understood, specially because you (I, at least) don`t get acquainted with which cell is which. If I were only studying Immunology for the whole semester, and the aspect of the cells were important for my formation, they would be great illustrations, as you would fix the image of each in your mind effortlessly. But when you study this book once a week you spend some great amount of time in each illustration, and if every cell were a round circle with 3 big letters and every molecule also had its name, it would be faster to understand the concepts, since immunology is all about imagining the communication between the cells, hence, images are the most important part in the learning process. As a third point, I wouldn`t hesitate to buy the other Abbas` book, since it`s not much harder to understand and is infinitely more complete, particularly concerning diseases.

It`s important to point, however, that I study medicine in Brazil, so my remarks might not actually be pertinent everywhere.

Easy Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2011

Verified Purchase

I'm a first year medical student and this was the required text for class. I also bought Levinson's Review of Micro, which many students use for the Immunology section (and question bank). I thought the Abbas was much easier to read, and presented things in a very logical fashion. The chapters on T cell and B cell response are split up according to recognition and effector response, which I thought was a little unnecessary. They also repeat material each chapter, so you could technically read it out of order and still get the concepts. I like this, because it exposed me to certain key ideas over and over again, making them easier to remember. I prefer this text over Levinson, which I tried to read a few days before our exam, but only lead to confusion. This text has a lot of pictures, which makes chapters a lot shorter in terms of wording, and I also like this.

Good but leaves out a lot.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a concise version of the full "Cellular and Molecular Immunology" by the same author. I read this book cover to cover as a MS-1. Now a MS-2 preparing for step1, I feel that, while the pictures are good and you can go through it very quickly (just over 200 pages),the book leaves out a lot of important information that are essential in understanding the mechanisms of immune responses and their application to specific diseases. After I finish a chapter, I often feel I just get fed hard, general facts without understanding the "WHY".

In comparison, the full book this book is based on, the "Cellular and Molecular Immunology," though much bigger (~600 pages), it offers much clearer explanation of how and why an immune response work a certain way. In the end I got a lot more out of the bigger book than this one. If I had a second chance, I'd spend more time and about 10 bucks more and just get the bigger book the first time around.

The best to learn immunology for the first time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

I went to med school four decades ago. Immunology filled up only a few pages of my notebook, therefore I could not understand any recent medical literature that mentioned anything "immunological". So I then went about purchasing most of the various current titles in the subject, finding most were way too detailed for my needs. I cannot imagine how any modern med student can digest the material contained in most of these books in a one semester course.

The best book I have found is this one I am rating 5 stars. It is concise yet comprehensive; explanations are clear, and most importantly this book has the best pictures which explain the concepts by themselves. This book is digestible in full, as compared to most of the other texts, and it has given me an adequate base on which to build.

Good bye

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2012

Verified Purchase

I got this book for as a supplemental reading for my immuno class. It proveds a good job at explaining the acquired immune system and does not examine the innate at all. The material is well organized, alot of diagrams and cartoon figures help alot. If you want a simple view of the acquired immune system this book is great. However if you want more specific detail of the iterleukins and cytokines involved this book is also great. The really big font is refreshing to see in textbook. It has great flow, and is anything but wordy. I recommend it as supplemental if anyone is taking an advanced immuno course.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

I'm a medical student. We received a syllabus with lecture notes roughly corresponding to what the speaker says--for our Immunology course, the syllabus was organized very poorly in general. This book helped me a great deal with organizing all the information we covered. It also explained concepts pretty clearly, and repeated important ones. One of the nice things about it too is that they have a summary section at each of the chapters with bullet-point-type of statements-really helpful.

The book provides a good balance of width and depth - it can be used to get general information but it also can be used for more intense study.
