Immunological research has, of course, come a long way since then, and we now have a deeper understanding of the many roles the immune system plays in health and disease. Together, innate and adaptive immune responses can protect us from a whole host of insults, from cuts and bruises to infectious diseases and invasive cancer cells.

But immunological research can be applied to more than just clinical immunology – antibody technologies are utilized in many techniques, from western blots to flow cytometry. Check out the full complement of our immunology content below and find the latest immunology papers published in the BioTechniques journal here.
