The Immune System
Our body’s individuality is guarded by complex cellular and molecular interactions, which govern the distinction between “self” and “foreign”.
![Page 94: Eldercollege Preview Fall 2020](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052514/628c0ad444f03807c5317d6b/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
The Immune System
This lecture centers on understanding these interactions; showing how they provide immunity from potentially fatal invasions by bacteria and viruses and from cancer cells whose molecular structures deviate from “self”.
