Any antigen that causes allergies is called an allergen. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, mold, specific foods such as peanuts, insect stings, and certain medications such as aspirin. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system fails to recognize the body's own molecules as self and attacks them, causing damage to tissues and organs.

Wei, who was diagnosed with lymphoma in the beginning of this chapter, has a difficult road ahead, but he and his medical team are optimistic that he may be able to be cured. More research into how the immune system functions may lead to even better treatments for lymphoma, and other types of cancers, in the future.

Leukemia and lymphoma are blood cancers. About every three minutes, one person in the U.S. is diagnosed with blood cancer. Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer. As a lymphoma patient, Brian, who you learned about in the beginning of this chapter, may eventually benefit from research funded by a bike ride like this one. In this chapter you learned about the immune system.
