This is, undoubtdly, the most complete guide for immunology. It shows all aspects of the issue, including biochemistry and disease context. Futhermore, the interaction between innate response and adaptive response is aborded, once is rarely showed by the other books. I do recommend!

Very useful by Laura (USA)

If you have lot of time to read, yes, this book is a MUST. But if you have 40 exams plus practices plus meetings plus, plus, plus.....Kuby is a good option. Anyway, never trust only in a single book. Ana Laura Fazio MSc. Immunology

HORRIBLE CD UPGRADE by Richard I. Cronkhite (Great Lakes States)

No offense to William Paul and the Authors of this book, but the CD is unusable unless you allow it access to the internet to review your searches!!!! (In either Windows ME or Windows XP) A complete invasion of privacy. Fundamental Immunology IV did not have that problem! (Microsoft Word is having new problems like this with their Windows XP professional as well! It did not have those problems with ME - Hum?)

excellent by J. F Treml (philly)

the next best thing to actually following the literature. a great way to get a background in a less familiar topic.

It can be used as a dictionary.

It is not recommended as a text book, but is as a dictionary. Because it contains many informations about immunology and few illastlations.
