- Highlights the implications of immunologic science for the management of human disease, emphasizing clinical relevance throughout
- Employs a highly accessible writing style that makes difficult concepts easier to understand, and provides clear implications of immunologic science to the management of human disease and clinical practice
- Features updates from cover to cover, including new information on COVID-19, genetics and pathogenesis of allergic diseases, newly recognized primary immune regulatory disorders, interactions between the immune system and brain and their role in CNS disorders, and CRISPR/Cas9 based gene editing
- Provides a highly visual, full-color description of the key immunologic and molecular processes with a fully updated, comprehensive, and consistent art program, including many new and extensively revised illustrations
- Helps readers grasp the details of experimental observations that form the basis for the science of immunology at the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism levels and draw the appropriate conclusions
- Includes summary boxes that assist with rapid review and mastery of key material
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

Review of the previous edition:
“This is an excellent immunology textbook because it thoroughly dissects the fine developmental process of the immune system. It is well written and this edition’s illustrations are excellent.” --©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Eric L. Brown, PhD (University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston) Doody’s Score: 92 – 4 Stars!
