Janeway's Immunobiology, Seventh Edition, is an introductory text for use in introductory immunology courses. It guides the reader through the immune system in all its aspects—from the first engagement of innate immunity to the generation of the adaptive immune response and its clinical consequences.

The Seventh Edition has been comprehensively updated throughout, and includes new information on topics such as NK cells, Toll-like receptors, AID, viral evasins, mucosal immunity, and celiac disease, to name a few. Each copy of the book includes a revised CD-ROM, Immunobiology Interactive, which contains animations and videos with voiceover narration, as well as the figures from the text in PowerPoint® and JPEG formats.
