    A functioning immune system is essential for survival, but even the sophisticated cellular and molecular defenses of the mammalian immune response can be defeated by pathogens at virtually every step....A functioning immune system is essential for survival, but even the sophisticated cellular and molecular defenses of the mammalian immune response can be defeated by pathogens at virtually every step. In the competition between immune protection and pathogen evasion, pathogens have the advantage of more rapid evolution because of their shorter generation time and other characteristics.

B cells produce antibodies and mature in the bone marrow, while T cells, maturing in the thymus, include CD4+ (helper) and CD8+ (cytotoxic) cells. It outlines the activation and cloning process of B cells and TCR functionality in recognizing antigen fragments. The selection process for T cells ensures self-tolerance, with gamma/delta T cells serving as a frontline defense.
