Study of the means by which organisms resist as well as combat pathogens as well as cancers.
| Immunology is the study of a tangled web of cells, factors, and their interactions all generally aimed towards eliminating organisms or complex substances which can cause body's harm, all the while avoiding equivalent damaging otherwise healthy body cells, tissues, and substances. |
The following is a list of major concepts associated with the science of immunology:
