Since early 2020, the field of immunology has moved to an unexpectedly prominent place indaily life. As SARS-CoV-2 spread around the globe, basic questions about how the immunesystem combats viruses moved into the forefront of public attention. Why were individualresponses to the virus so variable? Why were outcomes in older patients so much more direthan in younger infected individuals? And, most important, how quickly would a vaccine beavailable, would it provide adequate protection, and for how long? While some questionshave been answered, notably observing the most rapid vaccine development in humanhistory, many other questions remain outstanding. Clearly, the need for continued researchinto basic mechanisms controlling human immunity is undeniable.This Tenth Edition of Janeway’s Immunobiology strives to carry on Charlie Janeway’slegacy of providing a comprehensive, up-to-date textbook focused on the mechanismsunderlying the responses to infection.We hope this Tenth Edition will continue to inspire students to appreciate immunology’sbeautiful subtlety—just as Charlie did. We encourage all readers to share with us their viewson where we have come up short, so the next edition will further approach the asymptote.Happy reading and learning!
