 Immunology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many components of the immune system are actually cellular in nature and not associated with any specific organ but rather are embedded or circulating in various tissues located throughout the body.
Insects and other arthropods, while not possessing true adaptive immunity, show highly evolved systems of innate immunity, and are additionally protected from external injury (and exposure to pathogens) by their chitinous shells.
Many diseases caused by the immune system fall into two broad categories: immunodeficiency, in which parts of the immune system fail to provide an adequate response (examples include chronic granulomatous disease), and autoimmunity, in which the immune system attacks its own host's body (examples include systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's disease and myasthenia gravis).

 Immunology
Immunology has been used successfully in scores of introductory courses for both undergraduates and students in clinical medicine.
As a teacher, Jan Kuby recognized the need for a textbook that first and foremost emphasizes that immunology is based solidly upon experimental results and, second, that highlights the relationships between basic immunologic principles and clinical applications.
This approach also illustrates how experiments are designed and interpreted to test scientific hypotheses, thus encouraging students to develop the intellectual skills needed to read critically the current immunologic literature.

 Department of Immunology at University of Pittsburgh
Immunology is a formal academic discipline that impacts many other basic and clinical disciplines and thus has been traditionally practiced in Departments of Microbiology, Pathology, Infectious Disease, Medicine or Surgery.
The discipline of immunology has grown in the scope of its science as well as in the number of its practitioners and trainees, with the greatest expansion happening in the last 20 years.
Until that time, starting in the 1960s, over 100 immunology graduate students obtained doctorates in immunology that nevertheless carry the name of other disciplines, such as microbiology, biochemistry, and pathology, related primarily to the students’ departments rather than their discipline.
