against cancers either immune invaders protect types
The immune system's goal is to protect the body against invaders either from without, such as microbes, or from within, such as cancers and different types of neoplastic transformation.
both contain elements immune itself presenting recognizes response system ultimately
When you vaccinate someone, or when you get infected, the microbe is presenting itself to the immune system in a way that the immune system recognizes the important elements of the microbe and makes an immune response, both an antibody response and a cellular response, to ultimately contain the microbe.
advanced call immune man respond second sees system third time
What the immune system of man has in its advanced development is what we call immunological memory, so that once it sees something for the first time, when it sees it the second or the third time, it can respond against it in a way that's much more accelerated than when it sees it for the first time.
establish immune necessary protective safe system urgent vaccine
There is an urgent need for a protective Ebola vaccine, and it is important to establish that a vaccine is safe and spurs the immune system to react in a way necessary to protect against infection.
human immune vital
The body's immune system is like any other system of the body. Each of them have their vital function for the human host.
good immune news vaccine
The good news is that we have a vaccine that can induce an immune response. But the sobering news is . . . we have a long way to go.
body broader immune lasting responses seeing vaccine
Historically, a live vaccine induces more potent, lasting and broader immune responses than a killed vaccine. The body is seeing the microbe in a way that is much more analogous to a real infection.
capability cell gene genes hiding immune itself
(HIV) is a retrovirus, and one that has the capability of inserting itself into a gene -- into the genes of our own cell and hiding there essentially indefinitely, so it shields itself from the surveillance of the body's immune system,
best body broader entire immune infection lasting mimic purpose responses seeing vaccine
The entire purpose of a vaccine is to mimic infection as best you can. Historically, a live vaccine induces more potent, lasting and broader immune responses than a killed vaccine. The body is seeing the microbe in a way that is much more analogous to a real infection.
