Summary Introduction
Immunology is the branch of biological and medical sciences that are concerned with the immune system of the body. The field of immunology was developed by the early microbiologists who discovered the antibodies and phagocytic cells. The scientists Pasteur, Jenner, von Behring, Metchnikoff, and Kitasato made important contributions to the immunology field.
