Among the colleagues who have helped us, we would like to convey special thanks to Shiv Pillai for his generous willingness to review chapter drafts. Many individuals have made invaluable contributions to this fifth edition. The table format has been completely reworked to improve readability.

We have also strived to further improve the clarity of illustrations by simplifying the iconography. These include the use of bold italic text to highlight 'take-home messages,' presentation of experimental results in bulleted lists distinguishableįrom the main text, and the use of boxes (including several new ones) to present detailed information about experimental approaches, disease entities, and selected molecular or biological processes. The changes in format that have evolved through the previous editions to make the book easier to read have been retained. We have also completely reviewed the book and updated sections and changed them when necessary for increased clarity, accuracy, and completeness. We have added new information while striving to emphasize important principles and not increase the size of the book. Examples of areas in which our understanding has grown impressively since the last edition of this book include innate immunity and the functions of Toll-like receptors, the role of chemokines and their receptors in maintaining the functional architecture of lymphoid tissues, the functions of adapter proteins and kinase pathways in immune cell signal transduction pathways, and the basis of natural killer cell recognition of ligands.

It is remarkable to us that new paradigms continue to be established in the field and unifying principles continue to emerge from analysis of complex molecular systems. The fifth edition of this book has been extensively revised to incorporate new discoveries in immunology and the constantly growing body of knowledge.
