Immunology

---

Immunology by Lars Å. Hanson and Hans Wigzell is a comprehensive textbook covering both basic and clinical immunology. The book explains fundamental immune mechanisms such as antigen–antibody reactions, immunoglobulins, the complement system, cellular immunity, and immune tolerance. It also addresses clinical applications, including allergy, autoimmune disease, immunodeficiencies, transplantation immunology, and immune-mediated tissue damage.
The authors emphasize three core reasons for studying immunology:
Immunological defense is essential for human survival.
Immune reactions can themselves cause disease.
Immunological reactions provide powerful diagnostic and analytical tools.
The 6th edition represents a mature synthesis of research and clinical knowledge and was widely used in medical and biomedical education in Scandinavia before being translated into English in later editions.
