Immunological Responses and Immune Defense Mechanisms
Summary: The immune system detects and responds to a wide variety of pathogens, playing a key role in protecting the host from infections. The immune system can be divided into two main subsystems: the innate immune system and adaptive immune system. The innate immune system is an older evolutionary defense strategy and exists in all species; it is the first layer of protection for the host and can respond to broad pathogens in a generic immediate, but non-specific way. The adaptive immune system has a stronger immune response as well as immunological memory; it is also highly specific to particular pathogens that the host has encountered.
This Column of Microbes & Immunityaims to publish high-quality contributions, including original research and review papers, covering all aspects of immune responses and immune defense against pathogens.
Subject Areas include but are not limited to:
Innate and adaptive immunity to infectionCell-mediated immunityImmune response against pathogensImmune defense mechanismsImmunological memoryImmune evasionAutoimmune diseaseInflammationImmunodeficienciesTumor-Immune Interactions Tumor-Immune Dynamics
