Immunology & Serology in Laboratory Medicine, 8th Edition, is a textbook structured to build essential theoretical knowledge and analytical expertise for medical laboratory technician (MLT) and medical laboratory scientist (MLS) students. Author Mary Louise Turgeon presents core immunological principles and practical clinical applications needed to support academic coursework and master entry-level professional competencies.
The text organizes complex subject matter into clear theoretical and diagnostic arcs. Initial chapters examine the innate and adaptive immune systems, soluble mediators, antigens, and antibodies. Subsequent sections address practical laboratory techniques, including precipitation and particle agglutination methods, electrophoresis, chromatography, labeling techniques in immunoassay, flow cytometry, and molecular laboratory techniques.
Content alignment reflects established professional standards, recognizing the ASCP Board of Certification Examination Immunology Content Outlines for both MLT and MLS certification levels as well as the ASCLS Professional Body of Knowledge. Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Laboratory Medicine, this edition offers structured support for students preparing for classroom examinations and national board certification.
