TRAFFICKING OF IMMUNE CELLS TO SITES OF INFECTION AND MIGRATION OF TUMOR CELLS
The trafficking of immune cells to sites of injury or infection is a crucial process in the body’s defense mechanism. When the body encounters an injury or infection, it triggers a complex cascade of events that lead to the recruitment…
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSE
Introduction The cell-mediated immune response is a crucial component of the immune system that plays a vital role in defending the body against intracellular pathogens, such as viruses, certain bacteria, and parasites. It involves the activation and coordination of various…
UNRAVELING THE SECRETS OF ANTIBODY-MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSES
Introduction Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by the immune system in response to the presence of foreign substances called antigens. They play a crucial role in defending the body against pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and other…
THE ROLE OF IMMUNE SYSTEM IN TUMOR IMMUNITY
What is Immunity? Immunity refers to the body’s natural defense against pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. When a person is exposed to a pathogen, their immune system mounts a response to fight off the infection. This…
EXPLORING THE IMPORTANCE OF HEME-LYMPHOID TISSUE IN IMMUNE FUNCTION
Introduction Hematopoietic (heme) tissue is responsible for producing blood cells, while lymphoid tissue plays a crucial role in the immune system, producing and storing white blood cells (lymphocytes). Both types of tissue are vital for maintaining overall health and immunity.…
