The human body has a system to protect its health, the immnue system. Immunology is the study focusing on the organizational structures and functions of immune system. It demonatrates remarkable features of high-speed development and intersections with multiple disciplines, and gradually formed frontier branches such as modern cellular immunology and immunogenetics. Meanwhile, immunology is an advanced discipline which is closely related to clinical applications. Therefore, immunology plays a key role in medcial science, and thus become an important compulsory course for the students of medicine or biology.
