The immune system is the body's defence to invading organisms, cancer cells, transplanted tissue and other `foreign` substances (different to the body's normal components).
In the presence of the above, the body defends itself with the production of substances called antibodies or immunoglobulins, lymphocytes and other cells aimed at destroying the invasive material.
Immunologists study the functions of the immune system which may include allergies (see Allergy Profiles), auto-immune disorders (see Auto-immune Profiles) and immuno-deficiency disorders (see HIV Profile).
