Immunology is a broad branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms. It deals with, among other things, the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders; the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo. Immunology has applications in several disciplines of science, and as such is further divided.

The present volume Textbook in Immunology is intended as a concise first text for students of medicine or biology. The book contains a series of clear summaries and explanations of the key areas in the field and assumes a knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology. The written text is complemented by a number of diagrams based on simple line drawings, symbolising molecular interactions. These are simple enough to be easily scanned while reading the text. The book also contains useful reference lists at the end of each chapter. This book will be a succinct introduction to modern immunologic concepts for medical students, and as an update and refresher in the basics for researchers and clinicians.
