The second faction is the "adaptive immune system," which can take several days to a few weeks to respond to an infection. Some immune cells of the innate immune system: Dendritic cells Macrophages Some immune cells of the adaptive immune system: T cells B cells Innate immunity is fast, ...
monocytes are 5% of the nucleated cells present in adultblood. Thus, monocytes are an integral part of the innateimmune systemthat also helps to maintain cellular homeostasis, especially during any inflammatory condition like aninfection. The average half-life of monocytes is approximately 1 to 3 ...

aOur molecular understanding of how immune cells protect epithelial cells against damage is limited. In this issue of Immunity, Hanash et al. (2012) report that interleukin-22 produced by innate lymphoid cells provides protection to the stem cell niche of the intestinal epithelium. 我们的分子理解...
The mechanism of opsonization is employed by antibodies in order to inhibit and clear infection. Antibody-mediated opsonization by antibodies involves the coating of pathogens with antibodies so that they are recognized and phagocytosed by innate immune cells. ...
Example: egg cells or ova. Gamete Examples Both males and female gametes are formed by a process known as “gametogenesis” in their respective reproductive organs. During the process of gametogenesis, a diploid (2n) cell undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid (n) cells....
Isotopes are different forms of atoms of an element that have the same number of protons and electrons as each other, but have a different number of neutrons in their nucleus. In other words, they are VERY slightly different versions of the same element. Because of these differences, they ma...
The resulting stimulation of the innate and antigen-specific immune responses can be either beneficial or harmful. This review focuses on two examples of the Janus faced interaction between the nanomedicines and the immune system; the beneficial stimulation of epidermal Langerhans cells and expansion of...
Innate immune cells are fast and ready for anything. They either quickly take care of the pathogen invaders or keep them busy until the adaptive immune system arrives. When someone cuts their finger or catches a cold, the innate immune system is what first rushes to the defense. Key points ...
Immune cells in our body known as B cells produce antibodies after they recognize a molecule or part of a molecule that they classify as foreign (also known as an antigen), such as a sugar molecule from a bacterium or a protein from a virus. The antibodies produced in response to a B ...
