Host defense against pathogenic microbes requires dramatically different responses, depending on the character of the pathogen and on the tissue under attack. Central to the immune system's ability to mobilize a response to an invading pathogen is its ability to distinguish self from nonself. The ...

The immune system is composed of tissues, cells, and molecules whose primary function is to detect, respond to, and eliminate pathogens and transformed cells.
3.1. Immune response following administration of rabies vaccines by ID route The present review included 41 studies assessing the immunogenicity of rabies vaccines administered by ID route over the past 21 years. The potency of vaccines used in these trials ranged from 0.03 to 2.32 IU per ...

Interestingly, natural killer T cells, which are a specific subset of T cells that are different from NK cells, have features of both innate and adaptive immune cells making them versatile responders. They are often categorized as part of the innate immune response but can interact well with th...
Another important possible mechanism of immune evasion is functional anergy of virus-specific T cells. Several studies have shown that dysfunction of CD8+ T cells occurs in acute as well as chronic HCV infection [98,114]. HCV-specific CD8+ T cells may be impaired in their proliferative capacity...
The structural motifs of OPTN are linked to its cellular functions including structural maintenance of the Golgi, vesicle trafficking, and the innate immune response. Point mutations in OPTN are linked to impaired autophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction ...
Microbes aim to infect and propagate in a human organism.Host immune responseis responsible for recognition and elimination, of the infectious agent. The complement system has a rather broad specificity and thealternative complement pathway, the evolutionary oldest activation loop, is able to recognize...
