It seems astonishing that the immune system can produce antibodies to compounds that were recently synthesized for the first time in the lab. Given that viruses and other pathogens evolve rapidly, why would natural selection favor individuals having genes that made extensive antibody diversity possible?
Explain the following statement: Part of the difficulty in developing a vaccine against many eukaryotic parasites is that the vaccine would have to do something that does not occur in the course of a natural infection. Please give some examples of some organisms
