Immunological memory describes a specialized function of the immune system which allows it to respond quickly and effectively to agents to which it has previously been exposed. Immunological memory occurs because the immune system produces a population of immune cells characterized as antigen-specific lymphocytes. These cells are primed to recognize the agent to which memory has been initiated providing the immune system a chance to eliminate it before it can cause significant damage.
In the emergency department, distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections can be challenging, leading to inappropriate use of antibiotics that may contribute to the development of b...
The ultimate promise of tumor immunotherapy is dependent on the generation of effective immunity against cancer, including CD4 and CD8 T cell responses. However, activating T cells in cancer...
