I concur with the recommendation about Janeway and Travers but I also think
that Immunology by Roitt et al. (Mosby editors) is very good at the basic
level (it must be in the 5th edition by now). Once you get well verse at
this level, you may want to review Advanced Immunology by Male et al.
(Mosby, 1996) which keeps the same conversational tone but it is a lot more
advanced. Once you feel confortable with these, you may read anything you
want with full understanding.
Good luck and enjoy your studies
