The rapid progress in clinical and experimental immunological
research, in addition to the radical change in immunological
concepts in recent years, has been accompanied by similar
developments in the technical vocabulary, and, as a consequence,
frequent widespread confusion. The fourth edition of The Dictionary
of Immunology will satisfy the needs of any biologist, clinician or
biochemist who requires easy reference to current immunological
usage.
This well-established work has been completely revised and updated
to include key terms arising from new discoveries in the
fast-developing fields of molecular and cellular immunology. The
Dictionary of Immunology contains brief descriptions of the most
commonly used immunological techniques, as well as definitions,
useful in clinical immunology, of immunodeficiency states and
autoimmune diseases. Clear illustrations and tables have been added
to complement the text, and extensive cross-referencing is used to
inform an integrated view.
The Dictionary will serve equally as a handy reference, a companion
to other reference texts, or a spelling and fact checker for
students, research scientists and those engaged in ancillary
activities such as science journalists, and the curious lay reader.
* Special Features:
* Radical revision, including addition of 30% new terms.

edition, have been sold. Since its last revision, dozens of new
treatments and philosophies about ADD and ADHD have met with storms
