Topics include immune response mechanisms, the role of signaling molecules like cGAMP, and the importance of mRNA vaccines. It explains pathogen recognition via pattern recognition receptors, inflammasome formation involving proteins like ASC, and the activation of NLRP3 by PAMPS and DAMPS.
This page provides an overview of the immune system's functionality, detailing the roles of both innate and adaptive immunity, particularly focusing on the mechanisms of B cells and T cells.

Key elements include the structure and diversity of antibodies, significance of immunoglobulin domains, and the dynamics of antibody-antigen interactions.

It highlights instances such as delayed-type hypersensitivity and contact sensitivity. It also notes that some pathogens evade antibodies by invading cells, but activated T cells can enhance macrophage activity to combat these threats.
