immune recognition
1Immune system — A scanning electron microscope image of a single neutrophil (yellow), engulfing anthrax bacteria (orange). An immune system is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease by identifying and… …
2Immune tolerance in pregnancy — or gestational/maternal immune tolerance is the absence of a maternal immune response against the fetus and placenta, which thus may be viewed as unusually successful allografts, since they genetically differ from the mother.[1] In the same way,… …
3Immune selective anti-inflammatory derivatives — (ImSAIDs)BackgroundImmune Selective Anti Inflammatory Derivatives (ImSAIDs) are a class of peptides discovered to have diverse biological properties, including potent anti inflammatory properties. ImSAIDs work by altering the activation and… …
4immune system — Anat. a diffuse, complex network of interacting cells, cell products, and cell forming tissues that protects the body from pathogens and other foreign substances, destroys infected and malignant cells, and removes cellular debris: the system… …
5Immune receptor — An immune receptor (or immunologic receptor) is a receptor, usually on a cell membrane, which binds to a substance (for example, a cytokine) and causes a response in the immune system.One class of non self molecules are called antigens (short for …

7Pattern recognition receptor — Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are a primitive part of the immune system. They are proteins expressed by cells of the innate immune system to identify pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are associated with microbial… …
8Innate immune system — See also: Immune system and Adaptive immune system Innate immune system The innate immune system, also known as non specific immune system and secondary line of defence,[1] comprises the cells and mechanisms that defend the host …
9Adaptive immune system — The adaptive immune system is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate or prevent pathogenic challenges. Thought to have arisen in the first jawed vertebrates, the adaptive or specific immune system is activated …
10Artificial immune system — Artificial immune systems (AIS) are computational systems inspired by the principles and processes of the vertebrate immune system. The algorithms typically exploit the immune system s characteristics of learning and memory to solve a problem.… …
