Immunology Research

Diagnostic Immunology is a method by which we can diagnose the disease caused by a particular infectious microorganism. This relies on antigen-antibody reaction for detection of the disease. Immunologic methods are used as tools to treat and prevent of diseases such as infectious and immune-mediated diseases. The field of diagnostic immunology has advanced significantly over the years. Immunodiagnostics is a method which  relies on the antigen-antibody reaction for the detection of a disease. 

Computational Immunology is a field of science which encompasses the high-throughput genomic and bioinformatics approaches to immunology. The Rapid growth in the field of biotechnology with the major advances in information technology has more potential to radically transform immunology. The field's objective is to convert Biological data into computational problems, so that we can solve these problems using mathematical and computational approaches and then convert these results into the immunologically meaningful interpretations.

Immunomics is the study of immune system regulation and response to pathogens using genome-wide approaches. Scientists studying the immune system have had to search for antigens on an individual basis and identify the protein sequence of these antigens that stimulate an immune response. Scientists are able to visualize biological networks and infer interrelationships between genes and proteins; recently, these technologies revealed  immune system’s most distinguishing features are the continuous motility, turnover, plasticity of its constituent cells.

Immunotherapy is the treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response. It is also called as biologic therapy, It is a kind of cancer treatment which will boosts the body's natural defenses against cancer. It uses substances that are made by the body or in with in a laboratory to improve or restore immune system function. It is made up of white blood cells, organs, tissues of the lymph system. The immune system is framed up of white blood cells and the organs plus tissues of your lymph system, like the bone marrow. 

Immunodeficiency is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. Most cases of immunodeficiency are acquired/secondary due to extrinsic factors that affect the patient's immune system. Immune system protects the body from germs and other threats. But sometimes it gets off track and has a weaker response to these threats. It can result medications & illness. It may be present from birth as a genetic disorder known as primary immune deficiency.

Autoimmunity is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own healthy cells and tissues. Any disease that results from such immune response is termed an "autoimmune disease".In an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes part of your body as foreign. It releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells. Allergies, are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment.  Allergy symptoms occur when your immune system overreacts to an allergen.

Antibody Therapy is a form of immunotherapy that uses monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to bind to certain cells, proteins which stimulate the patient's immune system to attack those cells. Antibodies are a key component of the adaptive immune response, in both the recognition of foreign antigens and stimulation of an immune response to them. Antibodies are proteins made by immune system that bind to specific markers on cells or tissues. mAb kill cancer cells directly, or block development of tumor blood vessels, or help immune system to kill cancer cells.
