Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) have heightened innate immune responses to bacteria ...

The adaptive immune system is more effective at eliminating viruses than the innate immune system, Whiteley says, but the innate immune system also plays an important role. “We all know that you start ...

When the innate immune system recognizes a pathogen, it communicates with the adaptive immune system to essentially take over. The adaptive immune system can recognize specific antigens and commit ...

Shoji's team previously worked on the immune response to hepatitis viruses and investigated the role of a molecular tag called "ISG15" the innate immune system attaches to the virus's building blocks.

Our immune system spans two worlds—innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells are like troops at the gate ready to hold off invaders and raise the body's alarms. Adaptive immune cells are ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...
