Outline of immunology
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to immunology:
Immunology - study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms. It deals with the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders ; the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.
