For students preparing for the US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), Dr. Lichtman (pathology, Harvard Medical School) provides a review of introductory immunology. He offers multiple choice questions with discussion of the answers; but unlike the present USMLE format, many questions require choosing the wrong answer among several correct ones.
