Provides a systematic account of the effects of the immune systems, focusing in the first part on how the immune system works (immunology); specifically, inflammation and the fundamentals of the immune system and how it is activated. In the second part, emphasis is placed on what the immune system actually does in causing and preventing disease (immunopathology and immunity), including the seven immune effector mechanisms and how these effector mechanisms act not only to protect against infection and cancer but also to cause disease.
