Immunology

Immunology is the learning of the immune system and is observed to be one of the very important branches of the medical and biological sciences. The immune system guards us from infection through various lines of defence. If the immune system is not functioning as it is supposed to, it results in disease, such as cancer, autoimmunity and allergy. The immune responses also contributes to the development of many common disorders including metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s.
