      ABSTRACT

      BIOS Instant Notes in Immunology, 3rd edition, reflects major advances in the field. The infection process is discussed with relation to the progression from the innate to adaptive immune response, and the topic innate immunity has been expanded. Coverage of gender and aging in immunology, regulation of the immune response, immunotherapy, and the relationship between the nervous and endocrine systems has been updated.
