Principles of Mucosal Immunology, 2nd Edition, is a graduate-level textbook covering the basic and clinical dimensions of mucosal immune systems. The text addresses barrier physiology and host defense mechanisms across gastrointestinal, respiratory, ocular, and genitourinary tissues.
The volume discusses cellular constituents, host-microbe interactions, and mucosal diseases, incorporating revisions from clinical research and scientific literature.
