Overview of and topical guide to immunology
The following
outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to immunology:
Immunology – study of all aspects of the
immune system in all
organisms .
[1] It deals with the
physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders (
autoimmune diseases ,
hypersensitivities ,
immune deficiency ,
transplant rejection ); the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system
in vitro ,
in situ , and
in vivo .
