• The human immune system consists of cells, proteins, and molecules that work together to fight infectious diseases and cancer.
• There are two types of immunity: innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
• Congenital immunity is the initial defense of the body against infection and involves cells such as white blood cells and protein such as interferon.
• Adaptive immunity develops over time and involves the production of specific immune cells that recognize and destroy certain pathogens.
• Antibodies are molecules produced by immune cells and act as key recognition to recognize and fight pathogens.
• The immune system can experience disorders or failures, causing autoimmune diseases such as lupus and immunodeficiency diseases such as AIDS.
• Various factors such as diet, stress, and lack of sleep can affect the performance of the immune system.
• Immunization or vaccination is a way to protect yourself from disease by stimulating the immune system to produce adaptive immunity.
• Research on immunity has helped the development of new drugs and therapy for many diseases, including cancer.
• There are many studies that are being carried out to understand more about immunity and how to optimize it to fight disease.
