Immunology refers to the branch of biology concerned with the investigation of the immune system, which safeguards the body against a wide variety of pathogens. A variety of defence mechanisms are activated in response to an invasion of a foreign substance. It is necessary to study immunology in its entirety in order to attain a comprehensive understanding of the subject. This book presents a novel and straightforward method for comprehending the fundamentals and new developments of immunology. There is a distinct section on immunotechniques that are routinely employed in labs, in addition to discussing core ideas of immunology. Additionally, the book incorporates an extensive Glossary of critical terms to facilitate prompt reference.
A brief overview of the immune system’s role in illness and disease manifestations is provided in Introductory Immunology. The book provides a comprehensive account of the mechanisms underlying autoimmune dysfunction and natural defences against infectious agents. Furthermore, it investigates illnesses that are founded on immunological principles, equipping the reader with adequate information to render informed clinical judgements that ultimately result in improved treatment outcomes.Introductory Immunology is designed for individuals with a scientific inclination, including researchers, postgraduates, and those with an interest in immunology. The straightforward explanation of immunology concepts within this book does not require any prior knowledge of medical, biochemical processes or cellular science. A short and rapid overview of immunological principles comprehensively deconstructs the field of immunology into digestible and manageable components. Designed for readers who are not experts in medicine, biochemistry, or cellular biology
