**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Immunology**

Immunology is highly valued by medical students and medical science students everywhere for demystifying a complex and rapidly developing area of medicine.

The book integrates basic and clinical immunology, providing up-to-date information that links the laboratory with clinical practice. It covers all the core immunology concepts that students need for their coursework, including immunity, immune responses, defence against infectious agents, and hypersensitivity.

The book's structure makes it easy to understand, presenting immunology in the order that aligns with typical teaching methods. Ideal for USMLE and MLA preparation, it comes complete with accompanying online animations, cases studies, and self-assessment.
    • Carefully structured layout - easy to follow and identify high yield information
    • Explains the building blocks of the immune system - cells, organs and major receptor molecules - as well as initiation and actions of the immune response, especially in a clinical context
    • More learning opportunities online, including USMLE-style questions and clinical cases – ideal for exam revision and practice
    • Animations offer a visual overview of immunological concepts

    • Ways of Reading
      • The appearance of the text and page layout can be modified according to the capabilities of the reading system (font family and font size, spaces between paragraphs, sentences, words, and letters, as well as color of background and text)
      • This e-publication is accessible to the full extent that the file format and types of content allow, on a specific reading device, by default, without necessarily including any additions such as textual descriptions of images or enhanced navigation
      • No information about nonvisual reading is available
    • Conformance
      • No information is available
    • Navigation
      • Table of contents to all chapters of the text via links
      • Page list to go to pages from the print source version
    • Rich Content
      • No information is available
    • Hazards
      • No information is available
    • Product Content
      • No information is available
    • Legal Considerations
      • No information is available
    • Additional Accessibility Information
      • Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
      • Page breaks included from the original print source
      • For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)
      • Where links, controls or buttons are included in the content, the purpose or functionality of each link, control or button is apparent from the associated text alone - or where it is unclear, separate link, control or button descriptions are provided
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
