Buy Basic Immunology: Functions and Disorders of the Immune System by Abbas, Abul K., Lichtman, Andrew H., Pillai, Shiv online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: I have used this in various editions for quite a while. This is the latest including such as CAR-T cells. The authors provide a great introduction to immunology generally adequate for an introductory med school course providing understanding of all the elements of the innate and adaptive system with a reasonable number of clinical insights. The writing is clear, lucid, and direct, and the student should have no problem working through the material. For working physicians, this is a great update that is becoming an essential part of almost all medical practice. This is not a pathological guide for diagnosis and treatment of immune system disorders. It is a superb first cut but as one gets deeper then one needs added insight. For example the application of cytokine induced killer cells has great potential. Also it would have been useful to see some discussion on Tumor Associated Macrophages because the text leave the reader assuming all macrophages are the same. This is one of the concerns one has with immunology in general, namely it is an ever growing field and as one tries to compact it for teaching purposes certain critical nuances get lost. The authors have done their consistent brilliant job but as the field expands and as patients come in with almost state of the art questions the practicing physician will and must keep as current as possible. This book is a great basis for that. Overall this is a necessary addition to any praticing physicians reference table just to keep up. Review: Fatto bene. Molto chiaro. Tutto da studiare...

The textbook arrived in perfect condition. Small and thin enough to carry around while still packed with great content. Also diverse use of graphs, tables, diagrams and images so not reading just plain text. It has a convenient table of the CD numbers and Cytokines at the end with the cells they come from, their targets and the effects.
