Study Notes
Subdivisions of Immunology
- Embryology is NOT a subdivision of immunology.
Autoimmune Disorders
- Autoimmunity is characterized by the body's immune cells no longer able to recognize self from non-self.
Hypersensitivity
- Hypersensitivity is an unpleasant or damaging condition of the body tissues caused by antigen stimulation.
Antibody Production
- B cells (B lymphocytes) differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules.
Immune Dysfunction
- Immunodeficiency or immune dysfunction is a failure to detect foreign antigens, leading to a failure of body defense.
