Innate Immunity Reviews (12753 words) |
 | Innate immunity operates through leukocytes that are not components of the macrophage T and B interrelationships that characterize vertebrate adaptive immunity that is adaptive, induced, specific, anticipatory, and clonal. |
| Innate response against the infection is effective to certain extent but the ability of the bacterium to remain "silent" for a period of time prevents neutrophil and NK cells from effectively controlling the establishing of the infection. |
| The innate immune system is able to eradicate many microbial pathogens directly, or innate immunity may indirectly facilitate the removal of pathogens by activation of specific elements of the adaptive immune response (cell-mediated and humoral immunity by T cells and B cells). |
| Innate Immunity Reviews: 2003 (14419 words) |
| Adaptive immunity induces acquired resistance against microorganisms through random somatic rearrangements of genes encoding immunoglobulins and T cell receptors, thus generating a high level of diversity of receptors (>10(9)) in response to microbial aggressions. |
| Antibacterial peptides are the effector molecules of innate immunity. |
| Dendritic cells are the gatekeepers between innate and adaptive immunity and have been the intense focus of recent studies on innate immunity to fungi because of their ability to distinguish between different forms of a fungal species, to drive Th1 versus Th2 versus T regulatory responses, and potentially be modulated by fungal products. |
