Recenzii
This heavyweight offering could be a vade mecum for the infectious disease researcher. It covers the whole of immunology from A bloodgroup to zymosan in easy-to-read bites.
—Brian Henderson, University College London, Microbiology Today
Definitions and descriptions appear in every textbook, but few, if any, are as complete as what is presented in this book…a useful book to have on the shelf when you come across a word or phrase for which you need a brief and accurate definition…useful for definitions of obscure phrases.
—Marion C. Cohen, Ph.D., Doody’s Review Service
A beautifully illustrated and appealing discussion of the history of Immunology … concise, descriptive and up to date discussions of subject matter. Illustrations, both diagrams and photomicrographs are abundant and clear… the division of the text into an encyclopedic form and the comprehensive index make this book an extremely useful reference…clinical and research immunologists will delight in the book as the showpiece of a personal library.
— L.L. Wallman, Dept. of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, Westmead Hospital, Australia, for the World Allergy Association
A well-illustrated encyclopedic dictionary… this handy work contributes significantly to this rapidly advancing discipline. … With four completely new chapters …. this edition substantially expands and revises the previous one. ... Over 1,000 illustrations … accompany well-written entries. … Summing Up: Highly recommended.
— CHOICE, Vol. 42, No. 02
…quite comprehensive… . This book, with its emphasis upon the definition and discussion of the important and relevant concepts in the field, I would see as a very valuable in-depth study text… .

Descriere
In the 11 years since this atlas first published, the immunology field has experienced an exponential increase in information. Besides the unprecedented advances in knowledge of cell receptors and signal transduction pathways, an avalanche of new information has been gleaned from contemporary research concerning cytokines and chemokines, with special reference to their structure and function.

Written in a highly readable, two-column format, this complete reference covers a wide array of subjects, with content ranging from photographs of field pioneers to illustrations of molecular structures of recently characterized cell receptors, chemokines, and cytokines. The atlas also addresses the major histocompatability complex molecules, immunoglobulins, hematopoietic cells in leukemia, and molecules of related interest to immunologists. You won’t find another publication anywhere that matches the breadth or detail of illustrated immunological concepts.
