 A well written and printed book, June 23, 2017

I initially want to have the 8th edition of this book, and I found that there is a newest version as the 9th edition. I have compared this one with the last edition, and found that this new version really covers some intriguing and state-of-art concepts like immunotherapy for cancer (second generation CART, PD-L1), although the length is limited. Some of the basic concepts have been either rewritten or modified to match the main flow of immunological findings. It is a good book but only if you have a basic understanding of how immunity works. Otherwise, pls start with the guiding book like "how the immune system works" contributed by Sompayrac
