excellent resource, latest edition has been updated. as with previous editions, easy to read, accessible content for undergraduate and postgraduate students
Es un excelente libro para estudiantes de medicina.
It is superfluous to say that good illustrations and good examples are needed in immunology to connect basic knowledge and clinical cases. This book has it all. Wonderful illustrations!
In today's world, where the scientific data flow has reached incredible dimensions, the selection of the information that should be included in the textbooks and the presentation with the appropriate visual materials constitute a challenging task for the book editors. Cellular and Molecular Immunology successfully fulfills this challenge in every edition.

This book is essential for my postgraduate students and it is a basis for all my courses
This is a great textbook. It takes students from very beginning of immunology and guid them to very complex concepts in all aspects of immunoloy (e.g. from antigen recognition to tumor immunotherapy). Furthermore, figures that are accompanying textual descriptions are very informative and of highest artistic level. In the next edition I would be happy to see chapter discussing different aspects of vaccination since we are just learning (through Covid-19) that many health professional are not well prepared to defend benefits of this medical invention that saved milions of lives. I just love this book. My students love it book, too.
It is well-written, easily readable and nicely illustrated. I'll definitely recommend it to my students!
This book will give a great background reading for my students.
We have used the previous editions of this book for our Medical students, and will continue to recommend it
An essential text for anyone wishing to learn Immunology.
