Immunology nomenclature

Scientific nomenclature is a very important issue. It helps to minimize ambiguities in the literature and improve the precision with which scientists communicate with each other. The field of immunology seems to be particularly over-supplied with acronyms and in-house jargon. This volume brings much needed help in that, for the first time, it brings together all official nomenclature documents published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) in one convenient volume.
