In the study manual, the stages of the development of immunology are described in detail, incl. In Russia, information on the most important discoveries noted by Nobel Prizes in the field of immunology are presented. The modern ideas about the structure and functions of systems and organs of immunity of humans, animals and birds are presented. The processes of differentiation and functioning of central cells of the immunity system - T- and B-lymphocytes in the organisman, cellular and molecular levels are described, described functionally different subpopulations of these cells with effector, helper and suppressor activity. Modern ideas about antigen and immunologically significant membrane molecules of these cells (cytokines, immunoglobulins, receptor vehicle) are given. The mechanisms for the formation of the reactions of humoral and cellular immunity, including transplantation, mechanisms for the formation of tolerance (central, peripheral, oral), elimination of "forbidden" clones, etc., is shown. The important role of the genetic apparatus of individuals controlling the maintenance of immunological homeostasis is shown. The functions of the main histocompatibility complex are described. The features of congenital immunity and the mechanisms of its functioning are described in detail - effector cells (macrophages, natural killers) The modern methods of immunological research and security measures are presented with their implementation. The manual is intended for students, graduate students, teachers of biological and veterinary faculties of universities, advanced training courses, for researchers, specialists of various profiles that are interested in immunology problems and principles for ensuring biological safety in microbiological and immunological laboratories
