Readings

Required Reading

Two textbooks are recommended. Obtaining any one of them is essential. The books are Cellular and Molecular Immunology by Abbas, Lichtman and Pober, 4th edition, 2000, or the 5th edition of Immunobiology by Janeway, Travers, Walport and Capra. Reading of textbook chapters before the class is strongly recommended. The lecture notes should be considered as supplementary to the textbooks.
