Immunology
Immunology may be defined as the study of the immune system and is a very essential branch of the medical and biological sciences. The immune system guards us against infection through various lines of defense. If the immune system is not operational as it should, it can result in diseases, such as autoimmunity, allergy, cancer, etc. It is becoming clear that immune responses play a vital role in the development of many common disorders not traditionally viewed as immunologic, including metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.
