Immunology An Illustrated Outline by David Male |Free PDF Download

Immunology 6th Edition free pdf: An illustrated sketch is a guide to a comprehensive dictionary of both essential immunology principles and immunological terminology. We know that Immunology is a branch of biology that covers the study of the immune system in all organisms. So The book can be used to strengthen understanding in the preparation of course exams and medical licensing exams, or as a related fitness when dealing with immunology such as related life sciences such as microbiology, virology, and Animals

The book is divided into five sections which represent important topics in basic and clinical immunology. The Sixth Edition has been extensively revised to highlight the latest understanding of the field, especially in the areas of natural immunity and antibody-based therapies.

Preface:

This book serves three different functions. It provides a concise overview of basic immunology for readers who have not studied the subject previously, but need an understanding of the subject to support undergraduate or postgraduate work. It can also be used as a reference for science and medical students who have studied immunology, but require a refresher on specific content or to aid revision for exams. Finally, the book can be used as a dictionary of immunological terms.
Readers who already know some immunology and require a sum mary of particular aspects should consult the contents pages. The book is divided into five sections, each of which contains a number of related topics that are generally set out on double-page spreads. These topics are arranged in a logical sequence, so that Sections 1–3 are a short course in basic immunology, Section 4 provides the basis for clinical immunology, and Section 5 outlines important immunological techniques.
To use the book as a dictionary, look up the word or abbreviation in the “Index of Terms.” This gives a single page number where a definition of the word will be found; associated terms can be found on the same page. Page references to particular topics set out over several pages are indicated in bold. Items found as entries in tables are given in italics.
This edition of the book has been fully revised to highlight the latest understanding of the subject, particularly in the areas of therapeu tic antibodies, innate immune defenses, and control of immune responses. Naturally, a book of this kind cannot include everything of interest to immunologists. I have tried to cover all essential areas of the subject, but I should be pleased to know when readers con sider that particular subjects deserve further coverage.
I am most grateful to colleagues, acknowledged in the figure leg ends, who have allowed me to use micrographs or photographs. For this edition, I am very pleased to have worked with a new edito rial team, including Jo Koster and Jordan Wearing at CRC Press/ Taylor & Francis and I also thank the illustrator, Nigel Orme.

He teaches courses in infectious disease, autoimmunity, molecular and cellular biology, and neuroemiology.

Topics of this Edition:

Immunology An Illustrated Outline Sixth Edition by David Male (Free pdf) covers following topics:

The Immune System
Immune Recognition
Immune Responses
Immunopathology
Immunological Techniques

Introduction:

The immune system has evolved to protect the body from damage

caused by microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, viruses, and para-
sites. This defensive function is performed by leukocytes (white

blood cells) and a number of accessory cells, which are distributed
throughout the body but are found particularly in lymphoid organs,

including the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, and mucosa-associ-
ated lymphoid tissues (MALT). Lymphoid organs are strategically

placed to protect different areas of the body from infection. Cells
migrate between these tissues via the bloodstream and lymphatic
system. As they do so they interact with each other to generate
coordinated immune responses, aimed at eliminating pathogens or
minimizing the damage they cause.
