1.1 Introduction The immune system is a vast network that involves many interacting constituents. This chapter provides an overview of the immune system to establish a sense of the communication and checks and balances between the cells and mediators that provide immune protection and the process ...
The immune system is composed of tissues, cells, and molecules whose primary function is to detect, respond to, and eliminate pathogens and transformed cells.
Overview of the Immune SystemThe immunopathogenesis of many human diseases is characterized at the molecular level. Therefore, a basic understanding of immune function is often useful. Specific manipulation of the immune system for therapeutic purposes is now possible. Types of immunity The two ...

The immune system is a complex and highly cooperative system of cells, tissues, and organs whose primary function is to protect an organism from infection by foreign organisms and from newly arising neoplasms. From: Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science, 2012 ...
The immune system is composed of the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and various components of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). The immune system organs are immature at birth and develop over the first 6 weeks of postnatal life and beyond. The primary lymphoid organs (...
1 This critical step in the evolution of the immune system can be traced back to the emergence of the ancestors of present-day jawed fish, which represent the most primitive extant species known to have adaptive immune systems based on the generation of large families of specific immunoglobulin-...
