Editorial Reviews for Clinical Immunology and Serology: A Laboratory Perspective (CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY AND SEROLOGY (STEVENS))
|
A practical introduction to clinical immunology, covering essential theoretical principles along with serology techniques most commonly used in the lab. This edition includes case studies, to make each chapter a concentrated learning exercise, presenting theory and then detailing procedures. Colour plates demonstrate visually what is expected in the lab and an entirely new chapter, "Overview of Antigen-Antibody Reactions and Basic Safety Considerations", presents the updated OSHA regulations as they apply to the clinical immunology lab. Another new chapter, "Molecular Biology Techniques", explains methods of current molecular testing (DNA testing) as it relates to clinical immunology. The text also provides chapter outlines, multiple-choice review questions (with answer keys), chapter summaries and lab exercises to illustrate key concepts in each chapter. The book follows a pedagogical structure which supports students' learning.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Meh
Comment: The book is good in that it explains certain basic immunological techniques quite well in a descriptive sense (at least at the molecular leve), however graphically many things are left to be desired. Many topics like explaining detailed immunofluorescent or protein immunology, etc are woefully inadequate for any practical use. The first third of the book explaining immunological processes is hopeless and best left to a dedicated immunology textbook like Janeway or Abbas.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Clear as mud.
Comment: This book couldn't decide what it wanted to be. There were sections that were very detailed and not clearly explained. On the other hand, there were sections that were lacking significant explanation and contained so little detail that it was impossible to understand.
Also, if I had to read 'close proximity' one more time, I would have screamed. Someone should explain to the author AND THE EDITOR that this is redundant. I circled those words MULTIPLE times. Reading such a poorly written book made me wonder what else was poorly described and possible incorrect.
