Imunitný systém
Z Encyklopédia zdravotnej sestry
Imunitný systém je kolekcia mechanizmov v organizme chrániaca proti infekciám identifikáciou a elimináciou patogénov a tumorových buniek. Deteguje mnoho typov patogénov ako sú vírusy a parazitické červy a odlišuje ich od normálnych buniek a tkanív. Detekcia je komplikovaná, lebo patogény adaptujú a vyvíjajú nové metódy na infikovanie organizmu hostiteľa.
