The subject of *Inmunoquímica has like aim contribute a basic knowledge on the operation of the immune system, and deepen in the use of his components for the development of technicians of *inmunodetección. Between his components stand out the antibodies, some skilled proteins in recognising numerous types of different molecules, so much of biological origin as of synthetic origin. The antibodies allow to develop diverse technicians of analysis, diagnostic and therapy by means of his union to other molecules like enzymes, particles or drugs, or even of free form. His extraordinary capacity of detection is used in fields very diverse (medicine, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, marine field, etc.).
In this subject will review also the chemistry of the components of the immune system, with the aim to know the extraordinary capacities of this system to protect us in front of pathogens, or in front of other illnesses like the cancer.
