Description
Matthew Buckland’s fourth edition introduces how the human immune system functions in health and disease. It develops the basic physiology of innate and adaptive immunity before relating those principles to the assessment of immune problems and the understanding of immune disorders. Illustrations support the scientific explanations, including discussion of immunotherapies.
Topics covered
- Immune physiology, innate defences, and adaptive responses.
- Assessment and diagnosis of patients with immune problems.
- Immune disorders and the scientific basis of immunotherapies.
Who it’s for
Medical students and health science learners studying immunology alongside clinical medicine.
Study use: Connect each immune mechanism with its clinical examples to strengthen understanding of both normal responses and disease.
