In the second part of the book, immunological mechanisms behind major diseases of the various body systems are explained. Throughout the text clinical details are highlighted and more in-depth material is differentiated from the main text.- Covers both basic science and clinical immunology in one volume- Specifically aimed at medical students and appropriate for integrated system-based curricula- Main text supported by 'in depth', key point and clinical boxes- Now full-colour throughout- Specialised material removed and replaced with clearer introductory explanations- Clearer illustrations, thanks to rewritten captions
