Good Immunology Book by Judd Cahoon  5 Stars
July 06, 2009
I prefer the layout and figures in this book over ImmunoBiology. Good reference to keep throughout medical school.

great book by Sati (Houston, TX) 5 Stars
January 30, 2009
This book not only describes the mechanisms that relate to immunology; it also describes some important experiments that were conducted in order to discover those mechanisms. The text is great for students who have a basic knowledge of immunology (from biochemistry and other classes), but have never learned the intricate details. B cell and T cell differentiation is covered in great detail with colorful figures and tables describing many concepts. Key concepts are also repeated throughout the book to ensure that the reader learns them.
