Written in the same engaging conversational style as the acclaimed first edition, Primer to The Immune Response, 2nd Edition is a fully updated and invaluable resource for college and university students in life sciences, medicine and other health professions who need a concise but comprehensive introduction to immunology. The authors bring clarity and readability to their audience, offering a complete survey of the most fundamental concepts in basic and clinical immunology while conveying the subjects fascinating appeal.The content of this new edition has been completely updated to include current information on all aspects of basic and clinical immunology. The superbly drawn figures are now in full color, complemented by full color plates throughout the book. The text is further enhanced by the inclusion of numerous tables, special topic boxes and brief notes that provide interesting insights. At the end of each chapter, a self-test quiz allows students to monitor their mastery of major concepts, while a set of conceptual questions prompts them to extrapolate further and extend their critical thinking. Moreover, as part of the Academic Cell line of textbooks, Primer to The Immune Response, 2nd Edition contains research passages that shine a spotlight on current experimental work reported in Cell Press articles. These articles also form the basis of case studies that are found in the associated online study guide and are designed to reinforce clinical connections.Key FeaturesComplete yet concise coverage of the basic and clinical principles of immunologyEngaging conversational writing style that is to the point and very readableOver 200 clear, elegant color illustrationsComprehensive glossary and list of abbreviationsReadershipUndergraduate medical students and graduate students taking the following courses: Introduction to Immunology, Immunology, Clinical Immunology, Medical Immunology, Medical Microbiology, Microbiology and Immunology, and Immunology and Disease

Cover Image

The cover image portrays a myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC; light-blue cell with short protrusions) as it differentiates into tumor-associated macrophages. Depending on the microenvironment surrounding the tumor (clumps of reddish-brown cells), MDSCs are thought to give rise to either M1 macrophages (dark-brown spherical cells with long protrusions) or M2 macrophages (light-blue spherical cells with long protrusions in the background). M1 macrophages have tumoricidal activities, whereas M2 macrophages promote tumor growth. This image, rendered by Cheng-Jung Lai, was taken from a 2011 article titled Paired Immunoglobulin-like Receptor-B Regulates the Suppressive Function and Fate of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells, by Ma, G., Pan, P., Eisenstein, S., Divino, C., Lowell, C., Takai, T., and Chen, S. (Immunity 34: 385395). This article is featured in the Focus on Relevant Research box in ).
