{"product_id":"b00e7ytjbq","title":"Undergraduate Immunology: A textbook for tablets and other mobile devices","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis second edition of the popular electronic textbook has been thoroughly revised for 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree new chapters have been added to cover recent progress in Tumour Immunology, Tumour Immunotherapies and Industrial Immunology. The remaining chapters have also been updated to include the latest advances in topics such as innate lymphoid cells and inflammasome activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book aims to introduce and explain each of the major aspects of human immunology that are likely to be covered during undergraduate courses in immunology. It should also be of particular benefit to students of biology, medicine and microbiology. With 21 chapters and over 100 full colour figures, each topic begins with a simple explanation of the basic concepts, and progresses in a step-wise and easily followed manner towards quite advanced topics later in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA self-assessment section featuring over 200 questions and answers is also included as an aid to revision, and to help gauge understanding of the material presented in each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book has been optimised for reading on tablets and other mobile devices, such as mobile telephones, tablets, kindles and other e-readers. In particular, the text and images are optimised to be easily accommodated and viewed on smaller devices. The book is also enabled for electronic text-to-speech conversion, so if your device offers this function, it should be possible to listen to the book as an aid to revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContents include:\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 1: Introduction to immunology, the challenges and the requirements\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 2: Introduction to cellular and molecular biology\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 3: Cells and tissues of the immune response\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 4: Innate immunity and pattern recognition\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 5: Inflammation\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 6: Overview of adaptive immunity\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 7: Lymphocyte subsets and development\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 8: Antibodies and the humoral response\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 9: Presentation to T-cells\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 10: Genetic rearrangement: the key to adaptive immunity\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 11: B-cell activation\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 12: T-cell activation and cell-mediated immunity\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 13: Immunological memory and vaccination\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 14: Immunological tolerance and transplantation\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 15: Mucosal and cutaneous immunity\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 16: Immune responses to major pathogens\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 17: Hypersensitivities and allergy\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 18: Tumour immunology\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 19: Tumour immunotherapies\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 20: Methods in immunology\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter 21: Industrial immunology\u003cbr\u003e\nAppendix: 210 self-test questions and answers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924367573237,"sku":"YSL51952","price":4.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/61ZT1qrTkZL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793672734","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b00e7ytjbq","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
