immunology

Etymology

immune + -ology

noun

  1. (medicine) The branch of medicine that concerns the body's immune system.
    Obviously, licentiates to practice medicine should receive instruction of a definite and practical nature in this important branch of modern medicine, or immunology should receive a place in the classification of specialties, a fact which the importance of the subject may command. 1915, Benjamin Abraham Thomas, Applied Immunology
