Kuby Immunology

Originally authored by the award winning author Janis Kuby, "Immunology" remains the best selling textbook for the undergraduate course. The first and only true textbook written by professors who teach the undergraduate course, it presents the most current concepts in an experimental context with clinical advances highlighted in boxes, supported by the kind of helpful pedagogical tools that other books do not provide.
