Resources for FM Students

How the Immune System Works is not a comprehensive textbook. It's the book thousands of students have used to help them understand what's in their big, thick, immunology texts. In this book, Dr. Sompayrac cuts through the jargon and details to reveal, in simple language, the essence of this complex subject.

Essential Immunology clearly explains the key principles needed by medical and health sciences students, from the basis of immunity to clinical applications. The pedagogy has been strengthened throughout, and includes just to recap sections at the beginning of each chapter and summary sections at the end of each chapter that are ideal for quick study and revision.

Case Studies in Immunology, 5th ed. cites major topics of immunology as the background to a selection of real clinical cases that serve to reinforce and extend the basic science. It vividly illustrates the importance of an understanding of immunology in diagnosis and therapy. It introduces in a clinical setting the major common disorders of immunity and autoimmune disorders.

Written in a highly readable, two-column format, this complete reference covers a wide array of subjects, with content ranging from photographs of field pioneers to illustrations of molecular structures of recently characterized cell receptors, chemokines, and cytokines. The atlas also addresses the major histocompatability complex molecules, immunoglobulins, hematopoietic cells in leukemia, and molecules of related interest to immunologists. You won’t find another publication anywhere that matches the breadth or detail of illustrated immunological concepts.
