The Body’s Defenses
Non-Specific and Specific
Responses to Invaders
Immune System Primer
The Immune System Primer
offers a self-directed study
of the Human Immune
System. It is designed to
give general biology
students basic knowledge
of the various mechanisms
the body employs to
defend itself against
foreign invaders. It
contains links to a number
of on-line animations and
reference materials.
