The adaptive immune system (AIS), also known as the acquired immune system, or specific immune system is a subsystem of the immune system that is composed...

allows the adaptive immune system to mount faster and stronger attacks each time this pathogen is encountered. Both innate and adaptive immunity depend on...

innate immune system or nonspecific immune system is one of the two main immunity strategies in vertebrates (the other being the adaptive immune system). The...

disease is a condition that results from an anomalous response of the adaptive immune system, wherein it mistakenly targets and attacks healthy, functioning...

special form of immune response is antitumor immunity. In general, there are two branches of the immune response, the innate and the adaptive, which work...

of immunology. The immune system is divided into a more primitive innate immune system and an acquired or adaptive immune system of vertebrates, each...

which today consist entirely of lampreys and hagfish, have an adaptive immune system similar to that found in jawed vertebrates. The cells of the agnathan...

The immune network theory is a theory of how the adaptive immune system works, that has been developed since 1974 mainly by Niels Jerne and Geoffrey W...

T-helper cells. Consequently, both "arms" (B cells and T cells) of the adaptive immune system are impaired due to a defect in one of several possible genes. SCID...

the innate immune system, the complement system can be recruited and brought into action by antibodies generated by the adaptive immune system. The complement...

categories to which parts of the immune system are assigned: the non-specific, or innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. The non-specific response...

profile and epigenome. Adaptive NK cells are so named for properties which they share with the adaptive immune system. Though adaptive NK cells do not possess...

Neutralizing antibodies are part of the humoral response of the adaptive immune system against viruses, bacteria and microbial toxin. By binding specifically...

all other jawed vertebrates, members of Chondrichthyes have an adaptive immune system. Fertilization is internal. Development is usually live birth (ovoviviparous...
