With all the issues of acceptance or rejection of a transplanted organ, immunology is a core subject for all translantation clinicians. This introduction to immunology in transplantation, written by experts from the AST immunology group, includes an overview of the immune system, up to the minute chapters on emerging and new technologies and coverage of immunosupressive drugs and protocols. A companion website allows readers to download the images featured in the book.
