Abstract
The factors of large-scale, openness, the application of new technologies and others make the mega project more complex. How to create a mega project team to adapt to the complex and changing environment is important. From the concepts and mechanisms of biological immunity, combined with the organic constitution analysis of the mega project team, this article discusses the similarities between the mega project and the immune system. Based on the multilevel, diversity, uniqueness, coordination, and dynamic nature of biological immunity, the mega projects team immune mechanisms were proposed. Related concepts are explained which have the functions of the immune system with feedback, self-regulation and self-monitoring.
