The object and purpose
of immunology.
Structure and function
of the human immune
system.
, IMMUNOLOGY –
studies genetic, molecular, cellular
mechanisms of organism’s immune
reactions against pathogens (foreign
substances – antigens).
, New findings in fundamental immunology
The last two decades have witnessed a major revolution in the field of immunology. The
traditional classification of the immune system into two different arms, namely, innate
and adaptive components that collaborate to respond to foreign antigens or to perform
self-/nonself-discrimination, has become much more complex. The development and
application of new technologies have provided new findings and created a new
landscape in which the immune system establishes cross talk, not only between
immune components but also with commensal microorganisms and other important
systems, such as the endocrine and nervous systems. These developments have
forced immunologists to reformulate the immunological architecture that confers
protection, which has made the study of the immune system especially attractive.
Moreover, these advances have led to an increased interest in better understanding,
managing, and manipulating the immune response in both health and disease.
