Janeway's Immunobiology / 10th Edition by Murphy / Weaver & Berg

For thirty years, if you wanted to understand how the immune system actually works rather than memorise a list of cell types, you read Janeway. The 10th edition of Janeway’s Immunobiology keeps that reputation intact: an argument built from first principles, illustrated by some of the clearest figures in biological science.

What the book covers

• Innate immunity and the recognition of pathogens by pattern receptors
• Antigen recognition, B and T cell receptor structure, and the generation of diversity
• Development and survival of lymphocytes
• The adaptive immune response, from priming through effector mechanisms to memory
• Mucosal immunity and the immune system in its tissue context
• Failures of the system: allergy, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, and transplant rejection
• Manipulating immunity: vaccines, checkpoint inhibitors, and current therapeutics

Who it’s for

Medical students, graduate students in immunology and biomedical science, and advanced undergraduates. Assumes cell and molecular biology background; it is a rigorous course text, not an overview.
