Dear Colleagues,
Following the election process that took place in April 28, 2008, the Executive Committee of the Turkish Society of Immunology started its activities with a team comprising of Prof. Dr. Gunnur Deniz; Prof. Dr. Dicle Guc; Prof. Dr. Selim Badur; Prof. Dr. Barbaros Oral; Assist. Prof. Gaye Erten, Assist. Prof. Ishak Ozel Tekin, Assist. Prof. Tunc Akkoc. The aim of the Executive Committee in the period of 2008-2010 is summarized below:
Our webpage will be revised for a second time to ensure better communication amongst members of the Society...
The term ‘immunity’ derived from the Latin word ‘immunis = exempt from tax’ for defining exemption or in other words resistence of the host against diseases. Many germs survive in our environment. Germs defined as bacteria and virus are recognized as foreign to our body thanks to minute substances called ‘antigens’. Antigens play a key role in detecting germs.
The defense mechanism that protects our body against disease-making germs is called the ‘immune system’. The cells that mainly comprise the immune system are the ‘T cells, B cells, fagocytes, natural killer (NK) cells’.
