A Matter of Self Defence
Why do you usually recover from ' flu '? Why do you only catch measles once?
The reason is that your body has a defensive army constantly fighting off germs and even cancer. It's called the immune system. If it wins you stay alive; if it loses, you die.
This programme is about the recent fascinating discoveries which have begun to reveal just how we fight off disease. Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
