immune response ↔ infection

related 3.32 — strongly supporting 9 facts

An infection triggers an immune response as a protective mechanism to eliminate pathogens, as described in [1] and [2]. This relationship is further evidenced by the role of granulocytes migrating to sites of infection during immune responses [3], the regulation of these responses by T cells {fact:4, fact:5}, and the clinical study of how immune responses interact with infection [4].

claimThe first immune response to an infection or vaccination is called the primary immune response.

claimRegulatory T cells manage the immune response by signaling for increased activity early in an infection and signaling for a decrease in the response as the infection is brought under control.
