This book provides detailed and specific information on the theoretical concepts in immunology that are applicable to the laboratory sciences, underlying theories of procedures that are applicable to specific disorders, and selected disorders that are relevant to clinical laboratory science. The 3rd edition is a comprehensive, readable, student-friendly text featuring revised content and new, up-to-date information. The first two sections of the book provide foundation knowledge and skills that progress from basic immunologic mechanisms and serologic concepts, to the theory of laboratory procedures such as automated techniques. The final two sections emphasize medical applications that are relevant to clinical laboratory science, addressing representative disorders of infectious and immunologic origin as well as topics such as transplantation and tumor immunology. Each chapter begins with an outline and learning objectives, ending with a summary, review questions, and a bibliography. Most chapters also contain case studies and procedures that challenge readers to apply their knowledge to real-life situations. Instructor resources are available to qualified adopters; contact your sales representative for more information.
