Step I Immunology book?

[kdburton]

I'm only an MS1 but we just had our Immuno module and it was taught horribly... I was able to get decent grades only because I can memorize things fairly well, but I didn't have any immuno background before this module and I'm sure I'll forget most of it over winter break. Not that I'm studying for the boards right now or anything like that, but does anyone have a recommendation for a good book for understanding immuno that will also double as a good book for reviewing next year when I AM studying for the boards? Thanks in advance and happy holidays!

There is ~ 80 page Immunology section in Lange's Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology that is AWESOME. Another perk is that most of the diagrams, figures, etc in the immuno section of First Aid come from the Lange book

Agreed. Best immuno source out there for Step 1.
