Question
Chapter 45.2, Problem 4SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the difference in immune response in combating viral and bacterial pathogens. Also, two major strategies used by the host to protect against viral infection.
Introduction:
The response generated through the immune system of the body when it gets activated by antigens is known as the immune response. The ability of the defenses of the body to ward off the damage is called resistance or immunity. Different mechanisms are employed by the body to fight different types of pathogens.
