The only textbook written for undergraduates by teachers of the course, this bestseller presents the most current concepts in an experimental context, conveying the excitement of scientific discovery, and highlighting important advances while providing unsurpassed pedagogical support for the first-time learner. The new edition is thoroughly updated, including most notably a new chapter on innate immunity, a capstone chapter on immune responses in time and space, and many new focus boxes drawing attention to exciting clinical, evolutionary, or experimental connections that help bring the material to life. The authors bring an enormous range of teaching and research experiences to the text, as well as a dedication to continue the experiment-based, pedagogical-driven approach of Kuby. This textbook is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See `Instructor Resourcesโ and `Student Resourcesโ for further information. Review: Nice book - Excellent book for medical immunology which is helpful in understanding a complex subject like Immunology. I think the authors have nicely explained the subject without getting into the difficult Jargon which often confuses the reader. I recommend the book if you time on your hands to go through this and like to learn the subject rather than just cram it. Review: kuby is the beast - Kuby is probably the best textbook around. I have used various versions over the 5 years of university study Biomedical Science and Pharmacy - both really good for these courses Text is clear and easy to understand and the diagrams are clear and well described - Happy days :-)

Second to none.
I used this book when I did MSc after graduating medicine. It is an excellent book. It explains everything well and it is inspirational. But I like the old hard copy.

Awesome book, hard to navigate as an eBook.
I ordered the eBook. It is a good replica of the book. It is a little hard to navigate, however. As for the original book, I really like it! It goes into the right amount of depth of a fascinating subject. The diagrams are consistent and very helpful for studying. I especially liked the signaling diagrams. They aren't too cluttered and the book doesn't have too much to memorize (at least if you consider the fact that it is a textbook for one of the hardest classes).

Kuby Immunology is one of my favorite books. Easy to understand concepts
Kuby Immunology is one of my favorite books. Easy to understand concepts, beautiful pictures and graphical representation, history/background of important immunological events/experiments are predominant features of the book. You will definitely love reading this. I never felt like reading a core-subject book, its always been a pleasure reading such informative books.

Nice Update to a Classic Text
This is still a great textbook. I used a much earlier edition of this text as an undergrad and it really helped me understand the basic science behind the complexities of the immune system. The 7th edition substantially changes the approach but it is still written by people that teach undergrad immunology and understand the concerns of students just beginning to learn this complex subject matter. This edition adds much to the older version that I learned used doing especially well with the introduction of the microbiome and new regulatory cell types and tolerance.
