From immune-system foundations to laboratory testing

The contents build from the nature of the immune system into basic immunologic procedures, immune disorders, and serological and molecular diagnosis of infectious disease. Topics include innate and adaptive immunity, antigens and the major histocompatibility complex, antibody structure and function, cytokines and the complement system. Laboratory chapters cover safety and quality management, serological testing, precipitation and agglutination, labeled immunoassays, molecular diagnostic techniques, flow cytometry and automation.

Later chapters apply these principles to hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, transplantation, tumor immunology and immunoproliferative diseases, along with diagnosis of infectious conditions. The organization links theory with laboratory methods and clinical correlations, which can help students revisit the reasoning behind a test as well as how results fit into diagnostic workflows. The supplied fifth edition also includes learning outcomes, chapter outlines and review activities described in its front matter.
