**Selected for 2025 Doody’s Core Titles® with "Essential Purchase" designation in Laboratory Medicine**
The extremely popular textbook Immunology and Serology in Laboratory Medicine, Eighth Edition provides the foundation you need to master the relevant competencies demanded in today’s clinical laboratory. Immunology and Serology helps you gain the knowledge required by medical laboratory technician (MLT) and medical laboratory scientist (MLS) students to achieve excellent scores on national board certification upon graduation and to display entry-level professional competencies for career success. Featuring a straightforward presentation, each chapter in this edition presents state-of-the-art content in subject areas such as Molecular Diagnostics. A problem-based case study approach that stimulates critical thinking makes it easier to integrate the concepts of theory with laboratory procedures that generate diagnostic information in cases of infectious diseases, immune disorders, tumor immunology, and tissue transplantation. Immunology and Serology is a distinctly unique textbook because the author recognizes the importance of robust professional knowledge and the practice guidelines developed by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board of Certification Examination Immunology Content Outlines for MLT and MLS certification levels and the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) Professional Body of Knowledge.
