Veterinary immunology

Veterinary Immunology: An Introduction has been the veterinary student's book of choice since 1977. The 7th edition continues this tradition and has the added benefit of full-color photos and important new information. Still an excellent first-level textbook for students of veterinary and comparative medicine, this text also assists veterinarians by informing them about recent developments in immunology as they relate to domestic animals. · Straightforward text clearly explains the general principles of immunology · Includes information on the most significant immunological diseases and immunological responses seen in domestic animals · Includes clinical examples to illustrate all of the principles discussed · It's the only complete resource on the subject · Expanded and updated references to all of the key sources in the literature · New chemokine nomenclature · New CD molecules up to CD 254 · New cytokines up to 1L 23 · New gene nomenclature for immunoglobulin and TCR genes · Updated description of the small antibacterial peptides in innate immunity · New concepts of y/8 T cell function · SCID in Jack Russell terriers · New equine immunoglobulin nomenclature
