BIOCHEMISTRYMODULEI mmunochemical TechniquesBiochemistry INTRODUCTIONAll vertebrates have advanced immune system. The more complex the organismthe more advanced the immune system. The immune system of mammals hasevolved over a million years; it provides an incredible protection system capableof responding to infective challenges that arise in the body. Immunity in our bodyis monitored or controlled by specific cells from stem cells in bone marrow. Themost important cell types are B and T lymphocytes, which have the ability toact against bacterial and other viruses. B-cells releases antibody againststimulation of a foreign substance into the body. An antigen is a foreignsubstance capable of an immune response leading to the production ofantibodies.
