The Immune System is a very complicated thing‚ and you can simplify it by comparing it to a defense in football. In football‚ you have three lines of defense‚ just like the Immune System. There is the defensive line‚ linebackers‚ and the secondary. The defensive line is like the first layer of defense‚ the linebackers the second line of defense‚ and the defensive backs the third line of defense. Each of them have their own responsibilities‚ but work together for the same goal. They work as a team

Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection at the Molecular Level Research Paper Virology 24 November 2008 Abstract Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection is widespread and causes significant disease in humans. The structure‚ epidemiology‚ pathogensis and immune response are examined in this review‚ as well as specific ways to reduce and eliminate pathology and related diseases. The virus naturally infects mucosal areas and begins the search for its target host cell. Upon binding to the host cell membrane

defense system includes the skin‚ tears‚ and the stomach. After the outer line of defense is breached‚ the body starts it innate immune system to help prepare to take action on the foreign infectious disease or bacteria. The chemical barrier or the innate immunity is made up of a collection of white blood cells along with groups of chemical messengers. Innate immunity is activated by a set of molecules that are found only on invading

that‚ as many females become susceptible during pregnancy‚ the hormone estrogen is involved in the etiopathogenesis (1). The etiopathogenesis of SLE is very complicated and involves a variety of factors such as genetics‚ environmental factors‚ and immune deficiencies. The genetic factors causing SLE is not entirely understood‚ although it is known that it is not a single gene contributing to SLE‚ but variations of many genes due to damages‚ improper splicing‚ deficiencies‚ and duplications.

illness may be explained by the key difference in immune cells. In a study‚ it was discovered that young mice’s immune systems secrete lower levels of the cytokine than in older mice‚ which is essential for the CD4 T-cell survival during infection. It is a well-known fact that schools are popular breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses‚ but this cannot be connected to hygiene. A new research using mice shows that because young mice do not have immune system as efficient as their adult counterparts‚ the

Active Immunity The production of antibodies against a specific agent by the immune system is known as active immunity. This particular immunity process is there to keep you healthy. Active immunnity can be acquired in two ways: naturally by contracting an infectious disease or artificially by receiving a vaccination. Active immunity is natural and permanent; protecting individuals from disease their entire lives. This process can take place quickly by large amounts of medicines at one time
