Riassunto

Completely updated, the 4th edition of this classic resource offers the current, comprehensive coverage of immunology you need to stay on the cutting-edge of clinical laboratory science. It provides a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to take you from basic immunologic mechanisms and serologic concepts to the theory behind the procedures you'll perform in the lab, including automated techniques. It also explores the medical applications of clinical laboratory science, with information on disorders of infectious and immunologic origin, as well as topics such as transplantation and tumor immunology. Learning objectives, review questions, step-by-step procedures, and case studies help you master key concepts and prepare you to succeed in today's modern laboratory environment.

• Full-color, six-page insert of photomicrographs provide a better picture of what you'll see in the laboratory.
• Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter offer a measurable outcome you can achieve by completing the material.
• Chapter highlights at the end of each chapter provide a summary of the most important information covered in each chapter.
• Review questions at the end of each chapter are tied to learning objectives further enhance your understanding.
• Case studies challenge you to apply your knowledge and help strengthen your critical thinking skills.
• Glossary at the end of the book provides quick access to key terms and definitions.

• NEW! Expanded chapter on Vaccines as the importance of vaccines continues to become more evident.
• NEW! Updated chapter on Molecular Techniques incorporates the newest technology specific to immunology.
• NEW! Key terms at the beginning of each chapter help you learn the important vocabulary in immunology.
• NEW! Case studies with added multiple-choice questions in addition to critical thinking questions will help you apply your knowledge and develop critical-thinking skills.
