Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Human Immunology in 1997, major scientific achievements have directly contributed to an increased understanding of the complexities of the human immune system in health and disease. Whether as a result of the sequencing of the entire human genome, or of technological advancements, several new components of the immune system have been... Read more

"This is a well-written, multi-author reference book which will be useful for dipping into to ascertain certain facts, while at the same time being well-written enough to sit down and read. This book would be useful for anyone engaged in clinical immunological research and for routine immunology labs."
Andy Heath, Society for General Microbiology, Feb. 2009
