La quarta edizione di "Le basi dell'immunologia" di Abbas, Lichtman e Pillai si presenta profondamente aggiornata nei contenuti e risulta integrata da alcuni concetti che negli ultimi due anni hanno segnato grandi progressi nelle nostre conoscenze. Il volume mantiene la consueta semplicità e la sua iconografia, che è stata rinnovata e ampliata. Riassume le nuove nozioni relative ai sensori che l'immunità innata utilizza per riconoscere i patogeni e le alterazioni del "self", ossia le situazioni di "pericolo". Presenta le più aggiornate conoscenze dello sviluppo dei linfociti B e del loro ruolo nelle risposte immunitarie. Include le ultime acquisizioni sul ruolo della polarizzazione dei linfociti T nelle risposte protettive e autoimmuni. Sintetizza in una pratica appendice le principali caratteristiche delle citochine maggiormente coinvolte nella regolazione della risposta immunitaria. Inoltre, Le basi dell'Immunologia presenta casi clinici che dimostrano l'importanza della comprensione delle funzioni del sistema immunitario nella prevenzione delle malattie e nella tutela della salute. Sul sito web lo studente può trovare tutte le immagini del volume e i test di autovalutazione. L'opera si propone come un volume di riferimento per gli studenti delle lauree triennali e specialistiche, ma anche come valido testo di facile consultazione per tutti coloro che desiderino entrare in contatto in modo semplice ma approfondito con i principi dell'immunologia moderna.
