My comment:

"Gewebe" is a term of art, often used to mean tissue or cells that combine to form a matrix or grouping that perform a common function, and through which cells can communicate. In your example, I believe they are speaking about red/white blood cell apparatus for fighting infection. This, in turn is further clarified by the function of a "geweb" in medical terminology -- <<Mit dem Aufbau von Geweben befasst sich die Histologie, bei krankhaften Veränderungen die Histopathologie.>> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewebe_(Biologie)

immune system...tissue

My comment:

"Immunsystemgewebe" klingt sonderbar. Aber man hört z. B., dass das Immunsystem korpereigenes Gewebe angreifen kann.

immune system tissue

My comment:

The digestive tract's immune system is often referred to as gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT)...

About 70% of the body's immune system is found in the digestive tract. The GALT is made up of several types of lymphoid tissue that store immune cells...
