Immunology seeks to understand the body's response to foreign organisms such as viruses, bacteria and bacterial toxins. Immunologists focus on the tissues and organs of the immune system, including the tonsils, bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymphatic system. With an understanding of the immune system's function, they are able to treat disease-causing organisms and contribute to the development of vaccines.
