This document provides an overview of the immune system. It discusses that immunology is the study of protection from foreign molecules and organisms. The immune system uses a complex array of defensive measures, collectively called the immune system, to battle against microbial invaders. Immunity is the state of resistance exhibited by the host against toxins, microorganisms, and foreign cells. The immune system can be divided into innate immunity, which provides the first line of defense, and acquired immunity, which develops after exposure and relies on memory responses from lymphocytes. The document further discusses antigens, antibodies, and the different classes of antibodies.
