Question
Chapter 34, Problem 7WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason how the body saves energy by launching an immune response attack only on those cells that actually enter the body although the environment contains an enormous variety of potential antigens.
Concept Introduction:
Immune response includes the activation of various cells like macrophages, phagocytes, white blood cells, natural killer cells and red blood cells. These cells get activated after receiving a foreign antigen and destroy it. There are various antigens present in the environment which consist of specific protein amino acid sequences.
