Immunity to Infection
نویسنده
چکیده
The immune system comprises innate and adaptive immune responses coordinated to prevent infection. Innate immune responses are early responses based on preformed cells and effector molecules with a limited repertoire of antigen receptors. In contrast, adaptive immune responses take several days to mount, but take advantage of a very large repertoire of antigen receptors and comprisesmemory. The immune systemmust constantly face pathogen invasion strategies and at the same time avoid destruction of non-infected host tissue. In the following review the role of the various components of the immune system and their role in immunity to infections is described.

Neutrophils are part of the first line of immune response and are essential for resistance against a variety of pathogens. They professionally mediate direct killing of pathogens, recruit other phagocytes by specific chemokines, produce cytokines and interact with different immune cells to shape the adaptive response. Leishmania as an obligatory intracellular parasite has evolved to benefit thi...
