Product Description
Janeway's Immunobiology, Seventh Edition is an introductory text for use in immunology courses for undergraduates, graduate students and medical students. It guides the reader through the immune system in all its aspects - from the first engagement of innate immunity to the generation of the adaptive immune response and its clinical consequences. The Seventh Edition has been comprehensively updated throughout, and includes new information on topics such as NK cells, Toll-like receptors, AID, viral evasins, mucosal immunity, and celiac disease, to name a few. Each copy of the book includes a revised CD-ROM, Immunobiology Interactive, which contains animations and videos with voiceover narration, as well as the figures from the text for presentation purposes. Janeway's Immunobiology continues to set the standard for currency and authority with its clear writing style and organization, full-color art program, scientific accuracy and consistent viewpoint - that of the host's interaction with an environment containing many species of potentially harmful microorganisms.

Yes November 18, 2008 R. Escobedo (Hamilton, ON) 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
If your prof does not recommend this - ignore her and get this. The first chapter alone will get you through most college level immuno courses. The rest is at an almost-phd level but is still really well written and understandable, with the most important thing - accurate and memorable pictures.
Immunology 7th Ed. (Janeway's) is a GREAT IMMUNOLOGY TEXT!!! June 15, 2008 Stephen M. Sadder (Philadelphia PA) 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this text to any profession, undergrad, and/or grad interested in pursuing a career in immunology, microbiology, or molecular. It is very detailed and easy to read. Plus, if you buy new version, the CD is very useful to watch video clips of important, yet complex topics.
If you need to learn immuno this is the book April 18, 2009 Alvaro E. Galvis (Irvine, CA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The prior editions of this book have been great- i could have never survived my immuno courses without it. I am currently taking another graduate level immunology class and this book is indespensible- add along a few journal articles and you are set. So whether you are just in the begining of learning immunology or in grad school this book must be in your reference collection.
Academic Evaluation April 21, 2009 Victor A. Rios-Barrera (Bronx, NY USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
For me, it's the best Immunology book for a course; it's very didactic, easyreading, motivating when you read it. The Chapter of Innate Immunology is excelent as well as the glosaries.
Great introduction and reference material August 16, 2009 Brittany Sears (Gainesville, FL) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a grad student with zero immunological background working on a lot of immunology, I finally got fed up with not understanding the jargon and bought this book. It's the best money I've spent on school yet! There are extensive figures and legends that reiterate concepts, and the appendices are bar non. There is an appendix that includes every cytokine, its function, and what diseases deficiencies or knock-outs of the cytokine result in (a life-saver for me!). I highly, highly recommend it, despite its VERY human emphasis and the fact that I work on various, non-model (mouse, etc) species.
