    This book would be understandable if you equal to general microbiology.
    It would be helpful if you want to know more detail.

    Probably the best book for an intro to immunology. Abbas & Lichtmans skilful use of colour to label the different cells and their parts is very useful for students.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good book if you don't know shit about immunology, but you need to learn it quickly

    I started my PhD in immunology and beforehand I only had some knowledge of the subject, so I found this book incredibly useful to set up a base for everything I needed to learn.
    It reads very well. The authors repeat some of the information sometimes, but I found that helpful to remember it.
