Mitochondria must be juxtaposed to phagosomes to supply reactive oxygen species for effective killing of microbes. Zhou and colleagues demonstrate that the kinases Mst1 and Mst2 are important for controlling this redistribution of mitochondria.

immunology [imu-nolo-je]
the branch of biomedical science encompassing the study of the structure and function of the immune system (basic immunology); immunization, organ transplantation, blood banking, and immunopathology (clinical immunology); laboratory testing of cellular and humoral immune function (laboratory immunology); and the use of antigen--antibody reactions in other laboratory tests (serology and immunochemistry). adj., adj immunologic.
1. The science concerned with the various phenomena of immunity, induced sensitivity, and allergy.
2. Study of the structure and function of the immune system.
[immuno- + G. logos, study]
The branch of biomedicine that is concerned with the structure and function of the immune system, innate and acquired immunity, and laboratory techniques involving the interaction of antigens with antibodies.
immunologic (-n-ljk), immunological adj.
Etymology: L, immunis + Gk, logos, science
the study of the reaction of tissues of the immune system of the body to antigenic stimulation.
1. The science concerned with the various phenomena of immunity, induced sensitivity, and allergy.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that deals with the response of an organism to antigenic challenge and its recognition of what is self and what is not. It deals with the defence mechanisms including all physical, chemical and biological properties of the organism that help it to combat its susceptibility to foreign organisms, material, etc.
The immune system is divided into those which are static, or innate to the organism, and those which are responsive, or adaptive to a potential pathogen or foreign substance.
The innate system of immunity is on evolutionary terms, the older system that forms the first line of defence. It is non-specific and the resistance is static (it does not improve with repeated exposure and there is no memory on subsequent exposures). This includes physical defences such as skin & epithelial surfaces, cilia, commensual flora, acidic gastric contents, fever etc. Others are biochemical defences such as soluble - lysosyme, acute phase reactants and complement, fibronectin, interferons. Cellular components include natural killer cells, RES phagocytes.
The adaptive system is the second line of defence and is activated once the innate system has been overwhelmed. It is specific to the infective agent and can store the information about the invader as memory to show an enhanced response to subsequent challenge.
Immunology deals with physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease as well as malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders like allergies, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency, transplant rejection and autoimmune disorders.
Immunology deals with physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo. Immunology has a vast array of uses in several disciplines of science and medical science.
The word immunity was derived from the Lain word immunis meaning exempt.
The key primary lymphoid organs of the immune system are thymus andbone marrow, and secondary lymphatic tissues such as spleen, tonsils, lymph vessels,lymph nodes, adenoids, and skin.
In good health thymus, spleen, portions of bone marrow, lymph nodes and secondary lymphatic tissues can be surgically removed without much harm to humans.
The actual components of the immune system are cellular in nature and not associated with any specific organ. They are widely present in circulation throughout the body.

Immunology is essential reading for workers in all areas of immunological research. Recognised as one of the leading journals in its field it is also one of the longest established immunology journals, boasting wide trans-continental representation in authors, editors and reviewers.
Immunology publishes papers describing original work in all areas of immunology including cellular and molecular immunology, immunochemistry, immunogenetics, imaging, mathematical modelling, allergy, transplantation immunology, cancer immunology and clinical immunology.

View Principal Investigators in Immunology
Immunology and infectious disease research has been central to our mission since the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was founded in 1887 as the Staten Island-based Laboratory of Hygiene, established to find better means of screening for infectious diseases carried by passengers arriving on ships from abroad.
The NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) is now home to an extraordinary community of researchers and clinicians in the field of immunology. Over 200 IRP laboratories in multiple Institutes and Centers pursue basic, translational, and clinical research on the immune system, with the goal of better-understanding the underlying causes of allergy, infectious diseases, primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, cancer and transplant immunology, and autoimmunity.
Researchers in the IRP have made fundamental discoveries and advances in immunology, including:
Working in partnership with and as part of the largest clinical research hospital in the world, the NIH Clinical Center, IRP physician-scientists have helped develop many now-standard therapies for immunological diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and vasculitis. Many of the first trials of monoclonal antibody therapy and gene therapy took place at the NIH Clinical Center.
Today, IRP researchers work at the forefront of vaccine development for HIV and other emerging infectious disease threats. A dedicated Vaccine Research Center on the main NIH research campus opened in 1999. In addition, the recently launched trans-NIH Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammation aims to pioneer a new integrated approach that combines the expertise of basic immunologists, clinicians and epidemiologists to jointly improve clinical therapies and fundamental knowledge of immune-mediated diseases.
Many of the worlds leading immunologists and infectious disease experts make their home within the IRP, including ten members of the National Academy of Sciences. We invite you to explore the research interests of our faculty and our vibrant immunology community by visiting the Immunology Scientific Interest Group.
