History of Immunology
IMMUNITY ←← IMMUNIS (EXEMPT)
 Derived from the Latin word
 Protection from legal prosecution
 Now, in medical terms, it denotes resistance
to reinfection/free of disease.

History of Immunology
Thucydides (430 BC)
 Plague of Athens
 “Yet it was with those who had recovered from the
disease that the sick and the dying found most
compassion. These knew what it was from
experience, and had now no fear for themselves; for
the same man was never attacked twice - never at
least fatally”
 Resistance to re-infection-Immunity

Define of Immunology
IMMUNITY
---protection from disease (infectious disease)
IMMUNE SYSTEM
--- organ, cell, molecule and gene
IMMUNE RESPNSE
--- response to the foreign substances
Department of Immunology
Define of Immunology
IMMUNE FUNCTIONS
---immune defence (infectious disease)
--- immune surveillance
--- immune homeostasis
Department of Immunology
Define of Immunity
Immunity refers to mechanisms used by the
body as protection against environmental
agents that are foreign to the body
 Microorganisms
 Foods
 Chemicals, Drugs, Pollen etc.

History of Immunology
Smallpox
Smallpox is a disease caused by the Variola major virus. Smallpox
spreads very easily from person to person. Symptoms are flu-like and
include high fever, fatigue and headache and backache, followed by a rash
with flat red sores.

History of Immunology
Smallpox inoculation or variolation is a great
invention of medicine in ancient China.

WHAT is the immune system?
Complex defense system

At the end of an immune respose,
the immune system returns to its
basal resting state,in large part
because most of the progeny of
antigen-stimulation lymphocytes
die by apoptosis.
