Cellular and Molecular Immunology is the study of the cells and molecules of an organism’s immune system. The field involves studying how those different cells and molecules work together to provide a defense against different types of pathogens.
To better understand cellular immunology, researchers study both healthy immune systems and those that are actively fighting off pathogens, comparing the differences and similarities of how the immune system’s cellular physiology operates.
The poor functioning or malfunctioning of an immune system at the cellular level is also a topic of study in cellular immunology. Topics of study include cellular deficiencies in the immune system, including patients who have diseases that lower immune system response such as HIV or AIDS. Cellular immunologists also study immune system hypersensitivities to environmental factors, like allergies or asthma.
How autoimmune disease — when a body’s immune system attacks various tissue cells in conditions such as diabetes — works is another topic of study in cellular immunology. Researchers also study on the cellular level why some organ transplants are rejected by people’s immune systems.
Key features
• Develop a thorough, clinically relevant understanding of immunology through a clear overview of immunology with a distinct focus on the management of human disease.
• Visualize immunologic processes more effectively. Meticulously developed and updated illustrations, 3-dimensional art, and all-new online animations provide a detailed, visual description of the key immunologic and molecular processes.
• Grasp the details of experimental observations that form the basis for the science of immunology at the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism levels and draw the appropriate conclusions.
• Find information more quickly and easily through an organized chapter structure and a more logical flow of material.
