Immunity is an introduction for undergraduates and medical students to the immune response to infection. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the immune mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity, cells of the immune system, and the lymphoid system and lymphocyte recirculation. Chapter 2 introduces the major molecular families that direct and regulate immune responses, as background for the more detailed account in later chapters beginning with a major chapter on innate immunity that allows the later chapters on the activation and effector actions of lymphocytes to illustrate how adaptive immune responses are built on innate mechanisms. These are followed by chapters on the development of the lymphocyte repertoire and on specialized lymphocytes with roles intermediate between innate and adaptive immunity, with chapters on the immune response to specific microorganisms that illustrate how the mechanisms described in earlier chapters are coordinated in response to some important human pathogens. The book concludes with chapters on immune regulation and immunological disease, succinctly covering the most clinically important hyperreactive and deficiency diseases, and the design of vaccines.
