『Cartoon College Immunology』 is the fifth volume in the Cartoon College series, which presents college-level, professional scientific content in the form of cartoons. It is a specialized science book that explains the complex and difficult content of college-level immunology in an easy-to-understand way through cartoons.
This book is a culmination of the author's expertise in presenting college-level scientific knowledge through the Cartoon College series over the past decade. By simply slowly following the contents of the book presented in cartoon form, you can easily master the specialized content of the latest immunology.


This book covers the evolution of the immune system, the basic mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity, and the complement system.
It details the mechanisms of acquisition of diversity in antibodies, B cells, T cells, and T cell receptors.
In addition, the more specialized immunology content, such as the distinction between self and non-self by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and the mechanism of antigen presentation by immune cells, is explained visually and easily through friendly cartoons in a very specific and easy-to-understand manner.
And hypersensitivity (allergy) and cancer immunology, which must be understood in conjunction with medicine.
The vaccine manufacturing process is explained in a friendly cartoon format so that you can study it while understanding the historical development of immunology.
In particular, the section on 'anticancer immunotherapy', the author's specialty, contains the most up-to-date information on CAR-T cell therapy and immune cancer vaccines.


『Cartoon College Immunology』 is the most accessible and comprehensive introduction to immunology, designed to help you master everything from the basics of immunity to cutting-edge research in one volume.
Thanks to Professor Shin In-cheol's exceptional explanatory skills and delightful cartoons, immunology, which until now seemed difficult, will become "fun immunology" for you!

- Easy to understand by connecting difficult theories to real life through cartoons and storytelling.
- A practical and engaging introduction to the latest immunology theories, cancer immunotherapy, and vaccines.
- Recommended for students, health/medical beginners, and general readers!
