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.
