The field of immunology involves the study of the cells, molecules, and mechanisms involved in detecting and eliminating these harmful pathogens. The immune system is composed of several types of cells, including white blood cells, antibodies, and cytokines, which work together to recognize and neutralize foreign substances. These cells are organized into a complex network that can detect and respond to different types of pathogens. Immunology plays a crucial role in understanding diseases, such as autoimmune disorders, where the immune system attacks its own healthy cells, and allergies, where the immune system overreacts to allergens. Immunology research also contributes to the development of vaccines, immunotherapies, and other medical treatments that can help improve our health and well-being.
