Your Amazing Immune System
Download a free pdf (5,6 MB) of the book "Your Amazing Immune System – How It Protects Your Body". This book is designed to help you better understand how the immune system works. It has been compiled by the Japanese Society for Immunology for the Day of Immunology 2008. Recognising a good idea and a good book, researchers working in immunology in Europe thought such a publication would also be of interest to experts and laypeople in Western countries. The European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), the umbrella organisation of European immunologists, provided financial support for the translation, printing and electronic distribution of this book.
