The lymphatic system, for most people, is associated with the immune system to such a degree that the two systems are virtually indistinguishable. The lymphatic system is the system of vessels, cells, and organs that carries excess fluids to the bloodstream and filters pathogens from the blood.

It is composed of highly specialized cells and processes that eliminate specific pathogens and tumor cells. An adaptive immune response is set in motion by antigens that the immune system recognizes as foreign. Unlike an innate immune response, an adaptive immune response is highly specific to a particular pathogen (or its antigen).

Innate immunity occurs naturally because of genetic factors or physiology; it is not induced by infection or vaccination but works to reduce the workload for the adaptive immune response. Both the innate and adaptive levels of the immune response involve secreted proteins, receptor-mediated signaling, and intricate cell-to-cell communication.

It highlights the roles of helper T cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, T-cell receptor (TCR) binding to MHC molecules, and the importance of costimulatory molecules, adhesion molecules, and cytokine receptors. These interactions are crucial for T cell activation and subsequent gene expression, resulting in the secretion of signaling molecules and cytotoxic factors.
