Welcome to the mind-boggling world of immunology. Immunology is the study of how our bodies defend and protect us against infection and tumour cells. This includes both molecular and cellular events that occur once the host encounters a microbe or another foreign macromolecule, as well as the adverse consequences of an erroneous immune response (eg autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiencies & hypersensitivities).
