Instead of dying out after that however, they renew themselves in our body, outside of lymphoid organs, in the periphery. The presence of a spleen is essential in the survival of the B1 B-cells.

If you cut your finger and only a few bacteria enter the wound (or survive the disinfectant you apply), it seems very unlikely that they will be recognized by an immune cell in a short period of time.

It's commonly used to showcase how strong a genetic component is in a certain disorder. The "pair" mentioned is usually a pair of monozygotic twins.

Organization and rearrangement of the antigen receptor genes (Created page with "== Organization and recombination of the immunoglobulin genes, VDJ recombination == For the adaptive immune system to work, each individual B-cell has to create different antibodies that can bind to different antigens, so that when a pathogen invades, at least one antibody can bind to one of the pathogen’s antigens. Because antibodies are just protein transcribed from DNA, the immunoglobulin-coding gene in each B-cell must be slightly different. This is done by recombi...") Tag: Visual edit

Inflammatory reaction (Created page with "Activating the immune system eventually causes an inflammatory reaction, but how is it activated? Pathogens enters the body through an epithelial surface and are then taken up by blood or lymph. If taken up by blood, the blood will eventually reach the spleen, where erythrocytes meet leukocytes, so the leukocytes can recognize an antigen on the pathogen to start the immune reaction. If the pathogen is taken up by lymph, it will travel to a secondary lymphoid organ, most...") Tag: Visual edit

Recognition molecules, MHC molecules (Created page with "While B-cells can bind free antigens in the blood and tissues, T-cell receptors can only bind to antigens that are being presented to them by other cells.
