Best illustrations to quickly grasp therapeutic agents directed at the immune system
The illustrations in this book are excellent and abundant, with many distinct and vibrant colors per diagram, making the textbook very useful as a quick consultation guide to understand normal functions of the immune system and situations were it goes awry and how present medications can correct those disorders or future ones could. The text is very comprehensive and can be read in non urgent settings to master any area of immunology. From auto-immune conditions to immuno oncology, including immune defienciency every major therapeutic area in immunology is covered.

Great condition
The book arrived in great condition. It was properly shrink wrapped and I didn’t notice any damage to the box or book itself. The pages highlight well and ink doesn’t bleed. But you do need to let ink rest for a few seconds so it doesn’t smear.
