Kuby Immunology

Janis Kuby's groundbreaking introduction to immunology was the first textbook for the course actually written to be a textbook. Like no other text, it combined an experimental emphasis with extensive pedagogical features to help students grasp basic concepts. Now in a thoroughly updated new edition, Kuby Immunology remains the only undergraduate introduction to immunology written by teachers of the course. In the Kuby tradition, authors Jenni Punt, Sharan Stranford, Patricia Jones and Judy Owen present the most current topics in an experimental context conveying the excitement of scientific discovery and highlight important advances. They do so with the focus on the big picture of the study of the immune response, enhanced by unsurpassed pedagogical support for the first-time learner. In a world still suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic, immunology, infectious disease testing, and vaccine development have never been more relevant to the public discourse. This COVID-19 and Digital Update of Kuby Immunology adds COVID-19-relevant content through the text and support in Achieve, Macmillan's next-generation online learning system.
