Hello All,
I'm conducting a quick survey regarding textbooks used in teaching an
introductory Immunology course.
The question :
What, if any, text do you use or have you used for an introductory immunology
course, at the undergraduate level?
Would you recommend the text?
Any strong or weak points about the text?
Please e-mail me directly, I'l post the results for anyone interested.
Thanks
