We found out that, contrary to what many people thought, in the immune system, genes can change during the life cycle of the individual.

The body's immune system is like any other system of the body. Each of them have their vital function for the human host.

Investigating rare diseases gives researchers more clues about how the healthy immune system functions.

If we think of the immune system as a machine, then we are far from even knowing all of its parts.

The immune system's goal is to protect the body against invaders either from without, such as microbes, or from within, such as cancers and different types of neoplastic transformation.

It's my personal opinion, and I'm not espousing it to anybody else, I think your immune system and how healthy you are determines how you react to any excess of any kind.

It is particularly pleasing to see how purely basic research, originally aimed at testing the genetic identity of different cell types in the body, has turned out to have clear human health prospects.

What the immune system of man has in its advanced development is what we call immunological memory, so that once it sees something for the first time, when it sees it the second or the third time, it can respond against it in a way that's much more accelerated than when it sees it for the first time.

As biologists, we contemplate with admiration and awe the wondrous array of sophisticated cell interactions and recognitions evolved in the T cell immune system, which must be a model for other similarly complex biological systems of highly differentiated organisms.

Sometimes your immune system gets a little heated, and you're more susceptible to getting some illnesses that way.
