0 the reaction within the body that is caused by antigens (= foreign substances) and results in the production of antibodies that can fight disease by killing the bacteria or viruses that cause it
This may have been caused by the cub cohort's nutritionallyimpaired ability to mount an effective immune response against the parasitosis.
The instructive role of innate immunity in the acquired immune response.
This provides an excellent opportunity to investigate the relationship between the outcome of an infection and the immune response.
Separating the effects of intraspecific competition for resources from those of the host immune response is essential to understand nematode epidemiology.
Results also demonstrate that these molecules regulate snail cell spreading, an integral factor of the host immune response against the parasite.
If specific acquired immunity is involved, then the inference is that this stage, not the skin stage, is the target of the immune response.
The immune response to helminth infection in trypanosome-infected animals.
Parasites are, therefore, affected when they themselves, or other organisms, interact with the immune response and, in particular, the cytokine network.
