The use of immunopathological techniques has become increasingly widespread due to their ability to not only diagnose infectious and immunodeficiency disorders, but also haematological, oncological and gastroenterological diseases.

This manual is a practical guide to immunopathological techniques for undergraduates and trainees. Beginning with an overview of immunopathology, the following chapters provide in depth discussion on different techniques for the diagnosis and management of numerous immunological disorders, including autoimmune diseases, tumours, transplants and immunohistochemistry.

Presented in bullet point format for easy reference, this useful text is enhanced by high quality photographs and tables to assist learning.
