The highly focused nature of Immunology compartmentalizes important features of immune responses and presents them in a manner that follows the normal development of immunity. The author?s intention is to jog the memory of students with a rudimentary understanding of the immune system, provide a general description of immune responses, and integrate basic immunology with applied clinical topics, including immune-deficiency and autoimmune syndromes, vaccination, and laboratory analysis of immune responses. A glossary of important terms is included.
