The reasoning behind medical practices of prophylaxis through vaccination, immunesuppression, transplantation and diagnostic utility of the immune system will also be discussed. The immune system as a target and effector of disease will be illustrated through discussion of immunodeficiency, hypersensitivity responses, and autoimmunity.
