The Illustrated Dictionary of Immunology contains a wealth of information and serves as a primary resource for the most current and thorough definitions available in the complex science of immunology. Abundantly illustrated, the dictionary contains every definition of importance in understanding immunology without prior expertise. Encyclopedic in scope, the book provides sufficient information without referencing additional sources. An appendix of the latest information on cluster of differentiation markers and their characteristics is also included. Descriptions and illustrations provide a concise and thorough understanding of basic immunological methods often used by scientists other than immunologists. In addition to the standard immunological nomenclature, a host of new terms, such as cellular adhesion molecules, are described and illustrated. Pertinent terms related to the immunological subspecialties, including transplantation, autoimmunity, immunophysiology, immunopathology, antigen presentation, and the T cell receptor, are also found in this dictionary.
