Immunology covers the study of the immune system. In cats, immunology is concerned with such topics as [[Latest vaccine protocols|vaccines]], immune-mediated diseases ([[Lupus erythematosus|Lupus]] and [[Eosinophilic granuloma complex|EGC]]), hypersensitivities ([[atopy]]) and immune deficiencies (such as [[FIV]]).
Generally speaking, there are a broad range of diseases and disease process in which immunology is a primary instigator of disease or the primary target for disease. Such topics include:
*Vaccines

:[[Media:Latest_vaccine_protocols.pdf|AVA vaccine recommendations (.pdf)]]
*Hypersensitivity
:[[Hypersensitivity]]
*Allergic diseases:
:[[Atopy]]
:[[Food allergy dermatitis]]
:[[Flea allergy dermatitis]]
*Autoimmune diseases:
:[[Lupus erythematosus|Systemic lupus erythematosus]]
:[[Pemphigus]]
:[[Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia]]
:[[Eosinophilic granuloma complex]]
:[[Gingivitis|Lymphocytic plasmacytic stomatitis]]
*Basic feline immunology (Sourced from Wikivet.net)

:[[Lymphoreticular System - Anatomy & Physiology]]
:[[The Innate Immune System]]
:[[The Adaptive Immune System]]
:[[Immunoglobulins]]
:[[Complement]]
:[[Cytokines]]
