Immunology and Diseases

Immunodeficiency’s are often caused during a number of the way, including age, obesity, and alcoholism. In developing countries, malnutrition may be a common cause. AIDS is an example of an acquired immunodeficiency. In some cases, immunodeficiency’s are often inherited, as an example, in chronic granulomatous disease where phagocytes don't function properly. The system must be able to tell self from non-self. An antigen is any substance which can spark an immune response. In many cases, an antigen could also be a bacterium, fungus, virus, toxin, or foreign body. But it can also be one of our own cells that's faulty or dead. Initially, a spread of cell types works together to acknowledge the antigen as an invader. As infection and immune reaction are so intricately intertwined, this book is effective reading to anyone interested by infectious diseases in humans. Maybe within the future prions will need to be included as a replacement sort of infective agent whose rise we are just witnessing. (Information on prion pathology remains hotly debated, and data on routes of transmission and system reactions are still scarce.)
