Features

  • Explores the significant components of the innate and adaptive human immune system
  • Describes specific human conditions and contemporary methods for measuring them
  • Analyzes the relevance and potential pitfalls involved in the interpretation of specific measurements
  • Provides a useful, up-to-date reference for laboratory evaluation of the immune system and immune disorders
  • Emphasizes the molecular basis for the induction and regulation of immune responses
  • Includes new information on cell receptors, accessory molecules, cytokines, growth factors, and interleukins, along with their application in diagnosing and monitoring various diseases
  • Summary

    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 revealed, along with new technologies for their measurement and evaluation.
