Immunology

Immunology is a field that investigates the structure, function, and interactions of the immune system components, including immune cells (T cells, B cells, and macrophages), cytokines, and antibodies. It explores how the immune system distinguishes between self and non-self-antigens, initiate’s immune responses against pathogens, and maintains tolerance to prevent autoimmune diseases. Research in immunology spans molecular mechanisms of antigen recognition, immune cell activation pathways, and immune memory formation. Practical applications include developing vaccines, immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune disorders, and diagnostics for infectious diseases.
