_Cellular and Molecular Immunology_, by Abbas, Lichtman, and Pober,
and published by Saunders, is an excellent text for an introduction
to Immunology, especially for readers with a good background in
fundamental biology (as you have). We used it for a grad school
"Intro to Immunology" course, and it served pretty well as far
as detail is concerned.
If you want the most comprehensive text there is, then I am told
that you should read _Fundamental Immunology_, edited by Paul.
This book is famous for its detail, and may be the most up-to-date,
since the most recent edition (3rd) was just released in the winter
of 1993. I would reccomend buying Abbas (as we call it) and
consulting Paul when more detail is necessary.
There is another book that immunologists around here use, but I
forget its name. One of the authors/editors' names is Roitt (I think)
Hope this helps,
Dave
