Immunology is study of the immune system in all the living organisms on earth. It is an elaborative branch of biomedical science. The specified objective as dealt by Immunology is the physiological functioning of the immune system in the living beings. It is related in every possible state in states of health and disease. Immunological disorders are like those of immune deficiency, autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities and transplant rejection. All these disorders are due to the malfunctions of the immune system in the living body. Under the basic rules the components of the immune system are all cellular in nature. It is wrong to think that they are in any way associated with the particular organ. On the other hand the capacitance embedded or keeps in a circulating motion in various tissues located throughout the body of the living being.

Its usability is highly acclaimed in the detection of substances in a variety of diagnostic techniques that has been developed by the modern scientific inventions. After making the detection of the antibodies in the body the desired antigen gets conjugated with a fluorescent label, color-forming enzyme or radiolabel.

Thus the speculative aspects show that the immunology is all about the chemical, physical and physiological components of the immune system.
