Outline of immunology explained

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.^[1] 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 (autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency, transplant rejection); the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.
