title: Immunology for the clinical pharmacist.
abstract: Major advances in the field of immunology within the past decade have led to greater understanding of the immune network. The immune system is finely balanced, with cells communicating both by direct contact and through soluble mediators. Drugs may exert their effects at different sites within the immune network. To understand fully how these drugs act and how side effects may occur, clinicians must comprehend the basic workings of the immune system.
