BIOS Instant Notes in Immunology, Third Edition, is the perfect text for undergraduates looking for a concise introduction to the subject, or a study guide to use before examinations. Each topic begins with a summary of essential facts-an ideal revision checklist-followed by a deillegalscription of the subject that focuses on core information, with clear, simple diagrams that are easy for students to understand and recall in essays and exams.
BIOS Instant Notes in Immunology, Third Edition, is fully up-to-date and covers:
- Overview of the Immune System
- Cells and Molecules of the Innate Immune System
- The Adaptive Immune System
- Antibodies
- The Antibody Response
- The T Cell Response – Cell-Mediated Immunity
- Regulation of the Immune Response
- Immunity to Infection
- Vaccination
- Immunodeficiency – when the Immune System Fails
- Hypersensitivity – when the Immune System Misbehaves
- Autoimmunity and Autoimmune Diseases
- Transplantation
- Tumor Immunology
- Gender and the Immune System
- Aging and the Immune System (Immunosenescence)
- Immunotherapy
A. Overview of the immune system

E. The antibody response
F. The T cell response – cell-mediated immunity
G. Regulation of the immune response
H. Immunity to infection

N. Tumor immunology
O. Gender and the immune system
P. Aging and the immune system (immunosenescence)
Q. Immunotherapy
BIOS Instant Notes in Immunology, 3rd edition, continues to be an effective learning resource for students. Innate immunity, gender and aging in immunology, regulation of the immune response, immunotherapy, and the relationship between the nervous and endocrine systems have been updated, but the new edition continues to focus on clearly and concisely presenting only essential topics in immunology.
While this guide cannot provide the detail of a text book such as Janeway´s Immunobiology, the third edition of Immunology surely deserves a place upon every immunologist´s bookshelf as an affordable and concise overview of the entire field, something which every biologist should revise every now and again.

If you're looking for an outline of immunology for studying, this book would be a good choice. It is easy to read and hits the high points covered by multiple choice questions on exams.
