•    Immunology is a broad branch of biomedical science that covers the study

of all aspects of the immune system.

•    It deals with :

• The physiological functioning of the immune system in state of
  both health and disease;


• The physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the
  components of the immune system.
  • The foundation of science of immunology was laid by 3 workers - Edward
  Jenner (1796); Louis Pasteur (1879); and Von Behring (1891).
  • Immunology is classified into classical, clinical and evolutionary
  immunology.
  • Classical immunology is the study of the molecular and cellular
  components that comprise the immune system, including their function
  and interaction, and is the central science of immunology.
  • Clinical immunology is the study of diseases caused by disorders of the
  immune system such as failure, aberrant action, and malignant growth
  of the cellular elements of the system. It also involves diseases of other
  systems, where immune reactions play a part in the pathology and
  clinical features.
  • Evolutionary immunology is the study of the immune system in extant
  and exinct species and thus is capable of giving us a key understanding
  of the evolution of species and the immune system.
