Immunizing the host with a piece of viral DNA rather than an antigenic protein fragment of the virus, helps to stimulate the generation of cell-mediated immunity (Fig. 2). DNA vaccines contain the ...
and adaptive immunity, mediated by T and B cells to protect the host from a specific pathogen or toxin. Dendritic cell subtypes work in concert to activate each other and trigger different immunol ...
T cell lymphocytes play a critical role in cell-mediated processes that underlie adaptive immunity. In this article, we focus on CD8+ T cells by characterizing their immunological phenotypes and the ...
Scientists from DZNE, University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn provide new evidence that preventing brain inflammation is a promising approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease ...
An antibody is a component of humoral immunity. Antibodies can be effective defenders against both bacteria and ... A lipid (fatty) covering that surrounds a viral particle. It is derived from the ...
