While this guide cannot provide the detail of a text book such as Janeway's Immunobiology, the third edition of Immunology surely deserves a place upon every immunologist's bookshelf as an affordable and concise overview of the entire field, something which every biologist should revise every now and again.--Laura J.

If you're looking for an outline of immunology for studying, this book would be a good choice. It is easy to read and hits the high points covered by multiple choice questions on exams.
