Immunwege
Immunwege, also known as immune pathways, refer to the complex series of molecular and cellular interactions that constitute the immune response. These pathways are crucial for identifying and eliminating pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, as well as for recognizing and removing abnormal or damaged cells. The immune system is broadly divided into innate and adaptive immunity, each with distinct but interconnected pathways.
Innate immunity provides a rapid, non-specific defense. Key pathways include those involving pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
Adaptive immunity offers a slower but highly specific and memory-forming response. This relies on lymphocytes, namely
