Adaptive Immune Response
The adaptive immune response is a powerful defense mechanism that comes into play when the innate immune response falls short in eliminating pathogens. This intricate system involves specific antibodies produced by B cells, which bind to antigens, such as viruses and bacteria, marking them for destruction. Antibodies can neutralize pathogens, impeding their ability to infect…

Complement system
The complement system is a complex network of proteins that enhances the ability of the immune system to clear pathogens from an organism. This study note provides a detailed overview of the complement system, including its activation pathways, functions, and regulation, and highlights its significance in immunology and disease treatment.
