immuunivastus
Immuunivastus, also known as immune evasion, is a process by which pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, manipulate the host's immune system to avoid detection, elimination, or destruction. This strategy allows the pathogen to persist within the host, often leading to chronic infections. Immune evasion can occur at various stages of the immune response, including antigen presentation, signal transduction, and effector functions.
One common mechanism of immune evasion is the modification of surface antigens, such as glycoproteins or glycolipids,
Another strategy involves the inhibition of immune cell activation and proliferation. Pathogens can achieve this by
Some pathogens also exploit the host's immune cells to their advantage. For example, certain bacteria, like
Immune evasion is a complex and dynamic process that involves a delicate balance between the pathogen and
