Publisher Summary The immune system has developed to be highly specialized and
effective in eradicating a wide variety of pathogens with minimum immunopathology. The
adaptive arm of the immune response, consisting of antigen-specific T and B cells, interacts
with cells of the innate immune system to mediate an effective response to infectious
