Immunology by Ivan Roitt - Still the best!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I used an earlier edition of this text to study for Pathology board examinations (with the American College of Veterinary Pathology), and found it readily understandable (for someone with a veterinary degree and Master's degree in pathology) and well-laid out. I was so pleased that I purchased this recently for an associate starting a Ph.D. The text has chapters covering general immunology, evolution of the immune system, species differences, and essentials for understanding most aspects of immunology, from cytokines to cells to roles in infectious disease and cancer. The new edition incorporates recent information while retaining the basic flow. Altogether, this is still the best text on the subject that I have seen!

Roitt, et. al., has presented a clear, concise and thorough review of central themes in Immunology in this authoritative text. Each page contains tutorial photographs or drawings which greatly facilitates in learning or reviewing Immunology in this excellent textbook. He first starts with the anatomy of the immune system, and works up to the fundamental relationships of the individual components involved in immune responses. These interactions are presented in a clear and user friendly format. This book is highly useful in teaching Immunology to advanced biology students, and as an excellent review text for professionals in the field.
