"This immensely useful book will be of great value to students studying immunology modules within a wide range of undergraduate programmes, as well as those with a biological background who are keen to update themselves..." --The Biologist,Vol 61, No 6 "...a great resource for college and university students in life sciences, medicine and other health professions who need a concise but comprehensive introduction to immunology...The content of this new edition has been updated to include current information on all aspects of basic and clinical immunology. Drawn figures are now in full color, complemented by full color plates throughout the book." -- Anticancer Research 34, 2014 "Primer to The Immune Response contains all the essential knowledge the undergraduate and medical student needs to know on B cell development, activation and effector functions."--Zhenyu Hao, University of Toronto "Medical students, in particular, will find it a valuable guide and friendly companion in finding their way through the maze of complications surrounding the autoimmune diseases." --Noel Rose, Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Autoimmune Disease Research, I really enjoyed reading chapter 5 of Primer to The Immune Response, an excellent book. It contains all the essential knowledge the undergraduate and medical student needs to know on B cell development, activation and effector functions. Zhenyu Hao, University of Toronto The chapter is well organized which allows easy and intuitive access to the various subsections according to the type of infection, the type of immune response or mechanisms used to evade particular responses. The factual information in the chapter is very accurate and well supported by the literature. The chapter is extraordinarily thorough without being verbose and as such is concisely comprehensive. The chapter is perfectly suited to the target audience. The illustrations enhance and summarize the manuscript. The comprehensive nature yet concise style make this book unique. Marc Pellegrini, UHN Research The author did an excellent job of summarizing the present status of the field and presenting it in a most attractive format. Medical students, in particular, will find it a valuable guide and friendly companion in finding their way through the maze of complications surrounding the autoimmune diseases. Noel Rose, Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Autoimmune Disease Research Dr. Mak and colleagues should be congratulated on this excellent work. Foo Y. Liew, University of Glasgow, "Primer to The Immune Response contains all the essential knowledge the undergraduate and medical student needs to know on B cell development, activation and effector functions."--Zhenyu Hao, University of Toronto "Medical students, in particular, will find it a valuable guide and friendly companion in finding their way through the maze of complications surrounding the autoimmune diseases."--Noel Rose, Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Autoimmune Disease Research
