The Immune System
The Immune System, Third Edition emphasizes the human immune system and synthesizes immunological concepts into a comprehensible, up-to-date, and reader-friendly account of how the immune system works.
Written for undergraduate, medical, veterinary, dental, and pharmacy students in immunology courses, it makes generous use of medical examples to illustrate points.
The Third Edition has been extensively revised and updated and includes two new chapters on innate and adaptive immunity, which explore the physical, cellular, and molecular principles underlying these responses to infection. It also features enhanced coverage of aspects of innate immunity such as the complement system, Toll-like receptors, defensins, and C-reactive protein; the role of dendritic cells in initiating the primary adaptive immune response and the functions of other cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity; immunotherapies using humanized monoclonal antibodies to treat certain diseases; and the nature of the immune response in the mucosal tissues and immunological memory. The book offers over 500 full-color illustrations that complement and clarify the concepts. The end-of-chapter questions have been expanded and include essay, multiple-choice, and case study questions, with answers provided at the end of the book.

Great Introductory Text
By Bio Prof - April 6, 2009I've been using the new and previous editions of the Parham text to teach an introductory immunology course for the last 4 1/2 years. Until I made a few unfortunate text choices for other courses this year, I didn't fully appreciate what a wonderful text this is. The chapters (especially in the new, 3rd edition) are arranged in a logical fashion and broken down into sections for easy digestibility & assignability. The figures are clear with excellent descriptions and correlate nicely with the text. While the chapter on T cell activation/effector functions still suffers from a bit of disarray, it is still highly usable & provides the necessary information. Immunology is a difficult subject, but this text makes it a pleasure to teach & learn, and receives high marks from my students as well. It is perfect for a one-semester course.
Immuno Course for undergrad to I&I in Medical School
By USSR "USSR" - December 17, 2009I used this text when I was a student in Undergrad, our exams for my course were essay format. The author has broken down all of the chapters into small key points rather than writing 20 key points in one gigantic chapter which would be frustrating to decipher where one point stops and another begins. I found the illustrations extremely helpful in that they summed up the main point of a topic in the caption, so if you were ever pressed on time and needed to know the key points, you could essentially study the illustrations and understand what was written in the paragraph. I have the older edition and I'm sure you can get most of your information from that for an undergraduate course. I also was required to read this book for medical school for our immunity/infection course. However, if you've read through it enough and understood it, you don't need to read it again. I would hands down buy this book and recommend it to any student at any level needing to understand immunology... read more
