The Immune System (Human Body: How it Works)

Common and uncommon immune disorders are also discussed, as are potential new therapies to enhance or repair the immune system. Packed with full-color photographs and illustrations, this absorbing book provides students with sufficient background information through references, Web sites, and suggested reading for further study.
