Good text book January 17, 2010
Stephen Jacobs
Has the plusses and minuses you'd expect from an immunology text. Covers the field, well indexed, illustrations are consistent and helpful. But Immunology is too big for a textbook to double as a handbook. The present edition is noticeably drier than the previous one because examples and sidelights have been reduced to fit the new material into a constant number of pages.
Good textbook, great diagrams December 12, 2009

I needed this textbook for my Immunology class in medical school; it has been useful and the pictures are very helpful.
