Key features

ย„The major purpose of the immune system is protection against harmful agents such as pathogens and tumor cells. This is achieved by a rapid โ€œprimitiveโ€ reaction, called the innate immune response, and a more highly developed specific reaction, called the adaptive immune response

ย„The characteristics of an adaptive immune response are specificity and the accumulation of memory, thus enabling improvement with each successive encounter with a particular antigen

ย„The key event in an adaptive immune response is antigen presen- tation, yielding either a cell-mediated or a humoral response. The cellular response involves primarily T cells, whereas the humoral response involves B cells that ultimately mature into antibodysecreting plasma cells

ย„Immune responses are not always protective and can even be pathogenic if the response induces severe tissue destruction or is directed against an autoantigen

ย„As a barrier organ to the external environment, the skin is endowed with the capacity and the necessary cellular components to mount an immune response
