uploads-ssl.webflow.comAt birth, our innate immune system is ‘unexperienced’ but well-established. It protects us from a multtude of pathogens, thereby preventng these pathogens from causing disease. As the innate immune system cannot remember the pathogens it encountered (innate immunity has no so-called ‘immunological memory’), we can only contnue to rely

media.nature.comeral immune responses can be encoded by certain brain areas. For example, previous work has shown that responses of the innate branch of the immune system leave traces in the brain10. In mice, immune challenges in the periphery led to long-term activation of microglia (the immune cells of the brain), and persistent microglial activation altered the
Vaccination and autoimmune disease: what is the evidence?
www.thelancet.comJun 03, 2003 · The so-called innate invertebrate immune system responds non-specifically to infection, does not involve lymphocytes, and hence does not display memory. The adaptive immune system, shared by vertebrates, displays both specificity and memory, and is designed to provide protection against almost all

ard.bmj.com(figure 1).1 In SLE, both innate and adaptive immune responses are involved. Interaction of genes with environmental factors leads to numerous immu-nologic alterations that culminate into persistent immune responses against autologous nucleic acids. Tissue damage—caused by autoantibodies or immune-complex depositions—occurs in kidneys,

INTRODUCTION TO MEDICAL PARASITOLOGY
www.eolss.netHost defense mechanisms consist of innate immunity which mediates initial protection against infection and adaptive immunity which is more effective. Once parasites have evaded innate host defenses, adaptive cellular and humoral immune responses are promoted against a wide array of antigenic constituents.

In the meantime, the genetic basis for the immune response, and its ontogeny, were gradually uncovered during the 1950s and 1960s. A major paradigm shift: the clonal selection theory as an explanation for the diversity of
