Immunology is a nodal subject that links many areas of biology. It
permeates the biosciences, and also plays crucial roles in
diagnosis and therapy in areas of clinical medicine ranging from
the control of infectious and autoimmune diseases to tumour
therapy. Monoclonal antibodies and small molecule modulators of
immunity are major factors in the pharmaceutical industry and now
constitute a multi billion dollar business. Students in these
diverse areas are frequently daunted by the complexity of
immunology and the astonishing array of unusual mechanisms that go
to make it up. Starting from Dobzhansky's famous slogan, "Nothing
in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution", this book
will serve to illuminate how evolutionary forces shaped immunity
and thus provide an explanation for how many of its counter
intuitive oddities arose. By doing so it will provide a conceptual
framework on which students may organise the rapidly growing flood
of immunological knowledge.
