Im Zeitalter von Allergien, AIDS und Autoimmunkrankheiten gewinnt die Immunologie zunehmend an Bedeutung. Das vorliegende Buch bringt die komplexen Zusammenhänge und Wirkungsmechanismen des menschlichen Immunsystems anschaulich näher, sowohl für Medizinstudenten als auch für Naturwissenschaftler, die sich für dieses Gebiet interessieren. Es erfüllt die Erwartungen an ein "Lehrbuch" in vorbildlicher Weise. Ausgestattet mit aufwendigen mehrfarbigen Abbildungen, Diagrammen und mikroskopischen Aufnahmen, ist es übersichtlich gestaltet, was durch das ungewöhnlich große Format unterstützt wird. Die Abbildungen nehmen teilweise eine ganze Seite ein und sind mit ausführlichen Untertiteln versehen, sodass sie für sich sprechen und durch den Haupttext ergänzt werden. Alle wesentlichen Themen der Immunologie werden behandelt, darunter Immunität, Zellen, lymphatisches System, Antigen-Antikörper, Steuerung der Immunantwort, Überempfindlichkeitsreaktionen, Autoimmunerkrankungen und immunologische Testmethoden. Dieses ansprechende Werk ist daher jedem zu empfehlen, der fundierte Kenntnisse in diesem Bereich erwerben möchte.
