A introduction to the fascinating subject of immunology with an emphasis on medical applications. You are introduced to immune cells, antibodies and cytokines, the chemicals that cause most of our symptoms.

From Immunology Notes: "The role of immune cells is to defend the body against foreign invasion. The surfaces of the body are protected by cells on duty much like a military organization defends a country. To understand immune function, you have to imagine yourself inside the body participating in body defense. Haday and Viney described surface surveillance by lymphocytes, key immune cells: “Rather than being confined to the secondary lymphoid tissue of the spleen and lymph nodes, large numbers of lymphocytes are associated with the epithelial surfaces of the body. The best studied is gut-associated lymphoid tissue, but distinct epithelium-associated lymphoid tissue also exists in the reproductive tract, the lung, and the skin...antigens delivered to body surfaces can elicit either immune reactions of tolerance. In some instances, these responses occur within the local body surface tissue; in other cases both local and systemic responses are elicited. “
