Properties and overview of immune responses -- Cells and tissues of the immune system -- Leukocyte circulation and migration into tissues -- Innate immunity -- Antibodies and antigens -- Major histocompatibility complex molecules and antigen presentation to T lymphocytes -- Immune receptors and signal transduction -- Lymphocyte development and antigen receptor gene rearrangement -- Activation of T lymphocytes -- Development and functions of CD4+ effector T cells -- Development and functions of CD8+ effector T cells -- B cell activation and antibody production -- Effector mechanisms of humoral immunity -- Specialized immunity at epithelial barriers and in immune privileged tissues -- Immunologic tolerance and autoimmunity -- Immunity to microbes -- Transplantation immunology -- Immunity to tumors -- Hypersensitivity disorders -- IgE-dependent immune responses and atopic disease -- Congenital and acquired immunodeficiencies.
This revised edition continues to provide a straightforward and concise approach to the subject. It focuses on the experimental observations that underlie the science of immunology at the molecular, cellular and whole organism level, and explores the conclusions that can be drawn from those observations
