How does the immune system work?
The immune system consists of a network of special cells, organs and tissues that protect the body from germs invasion. Unfortunately, the human body is a perfect environment for germs. The immune system recognizes the "foreign invaders" and sends a command to the special cells of the immune system to target and destroy the foreign agents without harming healthy cells of the body.

Antigen is the substance which induces an immune response. Germs and viruses are common antigens. The immune response can be triggered by the tissues transplanted from another person's body. Even harmless, at first glance, substances, such as pollen, may provoke an immune response known as an allergy. Abnormal immune response may cause changes in certain body tissues, leading to autoimmune diseases.

Lymphoid organs located throughout the body are containing blood cells known as lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are produced by the bone marrow. Lymphocytes, known as T-lymphocytes or T-cells, are cells of the immune system responsible for the destruction of foreign agents inside the body. Antibodies, which help to prevent infection, produce B-lymphocytes or B-cells. While the B-cell targeted towards specific antigens, T-cells directly attack the infected or malignant cells. Well-coordinated immune response is provided by T-cells in interaction with immune cells. Immune cells secrete proteins, known as cytokines, which act as chemical mediators and provide the normal functioning of the immune system.
 
Apart from T-cells and B-cells, a large number of white blood cells known as phagocytes, eliminate old, worn-out cells and foreign particles from the body. Granulocytes such as neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are immune cells that contain chemicals to kill germs. Mast cells (mastocytes and labrocytes) are other types of immune cells present in human airways and the intestines.

Lymphocytes encounter in combat with antigens in the lymph nodes. The spleen is another famous organ where immune cells fight against antigens.

A weak immune system does not only increase the risk of infections, but can also lead to fatal diseases, such as cancer. Cancer cells start to grow and multiply when the immune system is breached.
