Innate immune system

CELLS The immune system is a complex network of cells and chemicals. It's mission is to protect us against foreign organisms and substances. The cells in the immune system have the ability to recognize something as either "self" or "invader" and they try to get rid of anything that is an invader many different kind of cells , and hundreds of different chemicals , must be coordinated for the immune system to function smoothly. Recent scientific advances in human stem cell research have…

Active means that an immune response occurred in an individual, including antibody production where passive occurs from the deliverance of preformed antibodies. 1. Naturally acquired active immunity occurs when an individual is exposed to a live pathogen of which enters the body by a natural route, such as an infection, and a primary immune response develops to produce antibodies against the antigen. As a result, memory cells are retained by the individual’s immune system to provide immunity…

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes species of mosquitoes. In 1947, ZIKV virus was first recognized in Uganda in monkeys through a system that observed yellow fever. Later in 1952, the virus was acknowledged in humans in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. Since then, there has been reports of outbreaks of ZIKV in Africa, America, Asia and the South Pacific. In 2007, the first large outbreak of ZIKV was reported from Yap Island. ZIKV is…

In order to prevent this infectious disease, it is recommended that you: • Wash your hands using an anti-bacterial gel after touching surfaces in public places. • Eat healthy foods and maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle. This will help your immune system fight this sometimes deadly…

AI128282-01 HU, JIAFEN; CHRISTENSEN, NEIL We thank the Reviewers for their positive comments for our choice of model system as well as for their thoughtful comments, perspectives, and constructive suggestions to improve our proposal. The reviewers agreed that “This (model) is a good application that addresses a problem of high importance in the field”, and “Understanding the innate immune response against the pathogen will generate important information against this sexually transmitted disease…

Adaptive Response/Reaction The immune system is the human bodies defense mechanism against any pathogen; the immune system is split into two basic forms namely the innate and adaptive systems and their roles are essential in the immune system (Huether & McCance, 2012). The innate is the rapid, non-specific primary response anti any foreign body pathogen confront, while the adaptive system is the secondary response with added specific line of defense mechanism and both work collectively to…

When a foreign microbe enters the body a natural immune response is initiated to protect the body from harm. However, when the body cannot detect when it has been invaded the appropriated self-preservation responses cannot be enacted to fend off invaders. Without identification of the invading microbe the immune system resorts to innate responses, or non-specific responses, such as fever, inflammation, pain in the joints, and occasionally irritation…

consists of multiple systems working together to keep us alive and well. These systems include: the skeletal system, muscular system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, respiratory system, reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine system, urinary system and immune system. Each of these systems has its own role in allowing our body to function appropriately. However, each is interdependent. Therefore, if one system becomes compromised for any reason, other body systems will become…

stress affects the body is because it is an innate response to a threat which causes your body to focus on the threat more than the other functions. While having these stressed for prolonged periods, it starts to take a tole on the body because of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is released by the adrenal gland which gives boosts energy when in contact with a stressor and can greatly weaken the immune system. The reason for the weakening of the immune system is because its slows the production…

Severe Combined Immune Deficiency as described by the immune deficiency foundation, is a “cellular immunodeficiency and a potentially fatal primary immunodeficiency in which there is combined absence of T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte function” (Immune Deficiency Foundation IDF, 2016). The lymphatic system comprises of organs and tissue that produce immune cells and one of their main functions is to confer immunity to every part of the body. The function of the T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte in the…
