This is an experimental method used for studying the structure and functions of the immune system. There are different techniques, which includes:

Immunological diseases are caused by defects in immune system. The immune system may be hyperactivated to release antibodies and other chemicals. This results in allergy and anaphylaxis. Sometimes the immune system fails to differentiate self cells from no-self cells, resulting in autoimmune diseases. In this situation, the immune system is challenged and evoke responses that damage…

The adaptive immune system is required to fight against pathogens that cannot be controlled by innate immune defences. It is also referred to as the acquired immune system because it is acquired during the course of life. They are specific to the type of pathogen invading the body. All the components of the adaptive immune…

Immune System fights against microbes and prevent their entry inside the body. Innate Immune System is composed of cells and proteins that are always present and are ready to fight against microbes in the infection area. Innate Immune System is present from the time of our birth. Main elements of the innate immune system are –

We, humans, have two types of Immune system and are classified based on whether they are present at the time of birth or not.

Immune system consists of different types of cells and organs which protect our body against pathogens. Pathogens are defined as microorganisms that cause infections in the body such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoans. Antigens are molecules that elicit antibody generation. They can be everything that does not belong to our body, from parasites to…

“The study of the immune system, the cell-mediated and humoral aspects of immunity and immune responses.” Immunology is a branch of biology involved with the study of the immune system, components of the immune system, its biological processes, the physiological functioning of the immune system, types, its disorders and a lot more.
