Does anyone have a fun way to keep immunology straight in their heads - like some sort of war metaphor? Don't need details...just big picture stuff so I can keep basics in mind (general role of all the cells). Please share if you do!

This book does a good job of explaining immunology that way (using guards, sentinals, etc). The whole topic of immunology is kindof too long to just summarize in a post though.
