The "kuby Immunology" textbook is valuable for a number of reasons, but the two most prominent ones are: its broad content, and its simplistic outlook. Of course, the authors of this book had beginners in mind when they planned for it, yet, it has got what it takes to arouse the curiosities of experienced learners. I like the moderate details that most of the chapters parade, and the illustrat

In the past, neutrophils were often reduced to their ability to release preformed mediators and kill pathogens. The present volume of Chemical Immunology and Allergy, however, offers a very broad and timely view by highlighting the versatile functions of neutrophils in inflammatory, immune and antitumoral responses. Leading investigators uncover novel aspects of neutrophils, such as their capaci

A highly efficacious cross-subtype influenza virus vaccine that induces T cell immunity to conserved influenza antigens could be used throughout the world to protect against current and newly arising strains including the avian H5N1 subtype that differs

High-Yield™ Immunology is a great book. Well organized, compact, easy to read. This book extracts the most important information on immunology and presents it in a concise, uncluttered fashion to prepare students for USMLE. High-Yield™ means exactly that! When you are short of time and still want to score well in step 1 immunology, and then go for this book. You won't repent. But, there are some reviews that this is not a good book at all. Read this: It is not always high yield. The graphs have way too much detail. They are not high yield at all. This book has some unnecessary details. Please look over some one else's copy of this book before you decide to buy it. It is incredibly nonsensical. The writing is extremely vague, and I would have to assume the only way to understand what the authors are getting at is to have already mastered the subject. It will frustrate you to no end trying to understand the pictures and seemingly arbitrary outline format. They manage to take

A 32-year-old, blood type A positive male receives a kidney transplant from a blood type B positive female donor with whom he had a 6-antigen HLA match. Once the kidney is anastomosed to the man's vasculature, the transplant team immediately begins to observe swelling and interstitial hemorrhage. After the surgery, the patient developed fever and leukocytosis and produced no urine. Which of the following is the most likely explanation? A. Acute rejection due to antibody-mediated immunity B. Acute rejection due to cell-mediated immunity C. Chronic rejection due to cell-mediated immunity to minor HLA antigens D. Hyperacute rejection due to lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration E. Hyperacute rejection due to preformed ABO blood group antibodiesAnswerTags: MCQ, Immunology, Graft vs Host, Transplant, transplant Rejection
