Intro to Serology-Immunology Flashcards
Resistance to disease (infectious disease)
Immunology
Branch of biology that studies immune systems in all organisms
Immunology
Study of molecules, organs, systems responsible for the recognition & disposal of foreign material
Immunology
How body components respond and interacts
Immunology
Desirable & undesirable consequences of immune interactions
Immunology
Ways in which the immune system can be advantageously manipulated to protect against or treat disease
Immunology
Scientific study of serum and other body fluids
Serology
430 BC
Recorded that individuals who had previously contracted plague recovered
