The study of the function and structure of the immune system. mmunosuppression: Suppression of the immune system by drugs or radiation to prevent the rejection of grafts or transplants.
Study of all phenomena related to the body's response to antigenic challenge (i.e. immunity, sensitivity, and allergy).
the study and/or treatment of disorders that involve the immune system (e.g., cancer, HIV disease, autoimmune diseases). An immunologist is a person who specializes in immunology.
the study of the immune system, including how it functions and disorders that affect it
Branch of medicine specializing in conditions of the lymphatic and immune systems.
The study of all aspects of the immune system including its structure and function, disorders of the immune system, blood banking, immunization and organ transplantation.
Immunology is the study of the immune system and its reaction to pathogens, as well as its malfunctions, such as allergies and autoimmune diseases.

Black's medical dictionary, G Macpherson ed; 38th ed The study of immune responses to the environment.
the science and study of the immune system.
Study of how the body resists infection and certain other diseases. Knowledge gained in this field is important to cancer treatments based on the principles of immunology. ( See also immunotherapy).
Immunology is the study of the immune system. The immune system provides the body with a defense against infection via circulating antibodies and white blood cells. Antibodies are manufactured specifically to immediately deal with the antigens associated with different diseases as they are encountered, while white blood cells attack and destroy foreign particles in the blood and tissues.
Treatment of the body's reaction to foreign substances and protection from infection and disease.
Study of immunity to diseases, structure and function of immune system.
The branch of biomedicine that is concerned with the structure and function of the immune system, innate and acquired immunity, the bodily distinction of self from nonself, and laboratory techniques involving the interaction of antigens with specific antibodies.
Science concerned with understanding the immune system and the many factors that are involved with producing both acquired and innate immunity.
the study of the body's immune system and its functions and disorders.
The study of immunity ¿ the security or protection against a foreign organism or poison introduced into an individual.
(im-mune-ahl-o-jee) : study of how the body resists infection and certain other diseases. Knowledge gained in this field is important to cancer treatments based on the principles of immunology.
Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that studies the immune systems of organisms. This includes the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders; and the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.

Immunology is a broad branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms. It deals with, among other things, the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders (autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency, allograft rejection); the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo. Immunology has various applications in several disciplines of science, and as such is further divided.
