Imunobiologia : o sistema imune na saude e na doença

by Charles A. Janeway Jr.

Immunobiology, Sixth Edition guides the reader through the immune system in all its aspects - from the first engagement of innate immunity to the generation of the adaptive immune response and its clinical consequences. The Sixth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and now includes end-of-chapter questions. Immunobiology sets the standard for currency and authority with its clear writing style and organization, full-color art program, scientific accuracy, frequent updates, and consistent viewpoint - that of the host's interaction with an environment containing many species of potentially harmful microorganisms.

I thought it might be kinda funny to put this book in my goodreads list because I have definitely read it cover to cover. I'm actually surprised it showed up, so that's cool. If you're looking for a book on immunology that's simple to read with good figures that are easy to follow then you can borrow this from me, because you certainly aren't going to buy it unless you're willing to spend 100 bucks on it. There's a section in the end called the toolbox that's good for getting ideas for experiments if you're into that kind of thing, which I happen to be...

There are other immunology books (Kuby, Abbas, Paul) that are also good, this book just happens to be the one I chose to have my department buy for me since it was recommended by most people.

For the ADD med school student. This book is colorful, both in illustrations and content. This text has helped me visulaize complicated biochemical processes that are imperative to understanding immunology, The included CD is packed with animations of all sorts, and the lady that does the voice over sounds hot, smart women are hot.

Yeah, I really loved this. It made microbiology and our immune system seem like a huge video game, with an epic struggle going on. Our immune systems are beautiful, complex, and fascinating. I also really liked the graphics on the accompanying CD.

Makes life easier!
It helped me to understand how everything works, much better than lecture slides XD !
I didn't read the full book, I only read a couple of chapters which helped making immunology clearer.

Well written, but a pain when combined with biochem and ochem.
