tailieunhanh - Prescott’s Microbiology (9th Edition - Student Study Guide) - Chapter 34: Adaptive immunity

This chapter focuses on specific (adaptive) immunity, a complex process involving interactions of the antigens of a pathogen with antigen-receptors and antibodies of a host. These interactions trigger a series of events that either destroy the pathogen or render it harmless. Most of the chapter is devoted to discussions of the functional cells and molecules of the specific immune system. | .
