Difference between Immune system and Virology

Immune system vs. Virology

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. Virology is the study of viruses – submicroscopic, parasitic particles of genetic material contained in a protein coat – and virus-like agents.

Similarities between Immune system and Virology

Immune system and Virology have 31 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antibiotic, Antibody, Antiviral drug, Bacteria, Bacteriophage, Cancer, Cell-mediated immunity, Cervical cancer, Eukaryote, Fungus, HIV, HIV/AIDS, Human papillomavirus infection, Interferon, Koch's postulates, Louis Pasteur, Medicine, Neuron, Oncogene, Opsonin, RNA interference, Severe combined immunodeficiency, T cell, Toxin, Vaccination, Vertebrate, Viral envelope, Virus, White blood cell, World Health Organization, ..., Yellow fever.

Antibiotic

An antibiotic (from ancient Greek αντιβιοτικά, antibiotiká), also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections.

Antibody

An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Antiviral drug

Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infections rather than bacterial ones.

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

Cell-mediated immunity

Cell-mediated immunity is an immune response that does not involve antibodies, but rather involves the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.

Oncogene

An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer.

Opsonin

An opsonin (from the Greek opsōneîn, to prepare for eating) is any molecule that enhances phagocytosis by marking an antigen for an immune response or marking dead cells for recycling (i.e., causes the phagocyte to "relish" the marked cell).

RNA interference

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules.

Severe combined immunodeficiency

Severe combined immunodeficiency, SCID, also known as alymphocytosis, Glanzmann–Riniker syndrome, severe mixed immunodeficiency syndrome, and thymic alymphoplasia, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the disturbed development of functional T cells and B cells caused by numerous genetic mutations that result in heterogeneous clinical presentations.
