In the Kuby tradition, authors Judy Owen, Jenni Punt, and Sharon Stranford present the most current concepts in an experimental context, conveying the excitement of scientific discovery, and highlight important advances, but do so with the focus on the big picture of the study of immune response, enhanced by unsurpassed pedagogical support for the first-time learner.

Together, Jennifer Punt and Judith Owen initiated the AAI Introductory Immunology Course, which is now offered on an annual basis. Judith is a recipient of the AAI Academic Mentoring Award, The Charles and Mary Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching and of a Career Advancement Award and a Faculty Award for Women from the NSF. The new Chapter 18, Immunization and Vaccines, highlights recent advances in vaccine development and expands discussion on the many vaccine formulations, designs, and additives and their advantages and disadvantages. In a world still suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic, immunology, infectious disease testing, and vaccine development have never been more relevant to the public discourse.These materials are owned by Macmillan Learning or its licensors and are protected by copyright laws in the United States and other jurisdictions.

The only thing I wish for is that it could be possible for someone who has bought the book version could have a code to access the ebook so that the animations (that are available with ebook) could be accessed too.

Jennifer has received numerous Teaching Awards at Haverford College, as well as the American Association of Immunologist Distinguished Service Award for Teaching and helping to develop their Introductory Course Curriculum.

Summary: The 8th edition of 'Kuby Immunology' presents an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the principles and findings of immunology. In-Class and Remote Learning Activities—In many classrooms, in-person and remote, student engagement is key to addressing misconceptions and reinforcing important concepts. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment.In 2001 she was hired as a Clare Booth Luce Assistant Professor at Mount Holyoke College, a small liberal arts college for women in South Hadley, MA, where she is currently an Associate Professor serving the Department of Biological Sciences and the Program in Biochemistry. The Kuby Immunology authors have provided instructions and materials for a variety of activities they use in their own classrooms to engage students. In the present chapter we are looking for giving an immunology background; in which we present an overview of the main components (organs, cells, molecules …) that belongs to the immune system with the functionalities of each one.
