The majority of veterinarians in general practice have had limited exposure to the subject of immunology in training. This book is designed as a practical reference source to help practitioners and students translate theory into clinical practice.

The book details the manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of immune- related disease in the dog and cat. It is illustrated throughout in full colour, to show and explain to the reader as clearly as possible the complicated principles of disease and immunodiagnostic tests, supported by clinical cases, gross and histopathology, cytology, haematology, immunohistochemistry and other immunological tests.

From the Back Cover:

The science of immunology is relatively new, complex, and rapidly growing. This new reference leads the reader from basic immunological principles to their practical application in the diagnosis and treatment of immune-mediated diseases of the dog and cat.

An excellent resource for veterinarians in practice and in training, Clinical Immunology of the Dog and Cat provides information on such topics as immunodeficiency disease, immune system neoplasia, and immunotherapy.

Illustrations, including 670 color diagrams and photographs form clinical cases, cover radiography, endoscopy, cytology, gross and microscopic pathology, immunopathology, and electron microscopy.

A list of abbreviations and references for additional reading further complement this reference book. Also, a set of symbols, defined in a key, is used to consistently represent immunological molecules and cells in diagrams throughout the book.
