Johnson, MS, MT (ASCP)Completely updated to include new information about the immune system and new treatments for immunological diseases! This practical introduction to clinical immunology covers all of the essential theoretical principles and the serology techniques most commonly used in the laboratory.

The book is good in that it explains certain basic immunological techniques quite well in a descriptive sense (at least at the molecular leve), however graphically many things are left to be desired. Many topics like explaining detailed immunofluorescent or protein immunology, etc are woefully inadequate for any practical use. The first third of the book explaining immunological processes is hopeless and best left to a dedicated immunology textbook like Janeway or Abbas.
This book couldn't decide what it wanted to be. There were sections that were very detailed and not clearly explained. On the other hand, there were sections that were lacking significant explanation and contained so little detail that it was impossible to understand.Also, if I had to read 'close proximity' one more time, I would have screamed. Someone should explain to the author AND THE EDITOR that this is redundant. I circled those words MULTIPLE times. Reading such a poorly written book made me wonder what else was poorly described and possible incorrect.
I needed this book for my MLT immunology class. It is a good resource but very scientificly wordy. There is a lot of information aimed at a higher level of education than the program that I was taking. Lots of things to look forward to as I progress in my understanding of immunological things.
I just LOVE this book. I can read it over and over. Great! I read other feedbacks. This is not a true. You should first study Physiology, Anatomy,Mictobiology, Coagulation,Hematology. Also , I have completed Pharmacology befor Immunology. People, you cannot just go in the class and study everything without any knowelege. This book is written WELL! Short chapters and VERY compact!
Its just OK... This book helps me study but is not organized nicely, especially with bold info. I find it easier to look terms up online for clarification than to read the roundabout mess in the book. It saves me a lot of time when making my study guides to 1' use the web and 2' use the book. Sometimes the diagrams explain things better than an entire page. I wish my teacher picked a better book, bottom line.Most texts books I read through each chapter. I tried that with this book and I felt like I accomplished little. The way the book is worded leaves a lot to be desired.
What can be said? It's concise and exactly what the doctor (or professor, LOL) ordered. It serves the purpose and is soft cover to make it lighter on my load. Plenty of good examples and explanations.
This book is very technical and somewhat hard to understand but I needed it for class. My teacher also did not like this book and is no longer going to use this one because it is very technical and hard to understand.
I bought this for my sister who is going to school and paid MUCH less than the price of the college bookstore. She uses it all the time for class and is very happy with it in general. It's required for her class and she says its very helpful.
