Immunology is a branch of biology that deals with the study of immune systems of all living organisms. It is an expansive science and is still being studied extensively. Immunology is the reason why vaccines exist and it is one of the most essential veins of biology. The following quiz covers some basic concepts of this subject. So take the quiz and find out.
