Immunology is a branch of biology that covers the study of immune systems in all organisms. Cellular immunology is the study of the cells and molecules of an organisms immune system. The field involves studying how those different cells and molecules work together to provide a defense against different types of pathogens. To better understand cellular immunology, researchers study both healthy immune systems and those that are actively fighting off pathogens, comparing the differences and similarities of how the immune systems cellular physiology operates.
