Key Concepts

Antigen Receptor

Antigen receptors are specialized molecules found on the surface of immune cells such as B cells and T cells. They are designed to recognize and bind specific antigens, thereby initiating and propagating the immune response against invading pathogens or abnormal cells.

Immune Deficiency

Immune deficiency is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infections and diseases is compromised or entirely absent. This insufficient immune response can be congenital, acquired, or due to other underlying conditions, making the body more susceptible to infections.

Inflammation

Inflammation is the body’s general defense mechanism that is triggered in response to injury, infection, or irritation. It involves the activation of immune cells, release of signaling molecules, and increased blood flow to the affected site, aiming to eliminate harmful stimuli and initiate tissue repair.

Immune Memory

Immune memory is the capability of the adaptive immune system to remember previous exposures to pathogens. This mechanism allows for a faster and more robust response upon subsequent encounters with the same antigen, forming the basis for the effectiveness of vaccinations.

Anaphylactic Shock

Anaphylactic shock is a severe, rapid-onset allergic reaction that can be life-threatening. It occurs when the immune system overreacts to an allergen, releasing a flood of chemicals such as histamines that lead to drastic changes in blood pressure, airway constriction, and other systemic effects.

Autoimmunity

Autoimmunity refers to the process in which the immune system mistakenly identifies the body’s own cells and tissues as foreign and mounts an immune response against them. This misdirected attack can lead to various autoimmune diseases, characterized by chronic inflammation and tissue damage.
