immune response
A highly specific defensive reaction of the body to invasion by a foreign substance or organism; consists of a primary response in which the invader is recognized as foreign, or "not-self, ...

immune response: the stimulation of B and T lymphocytes.
incomplete dominance: an allele combination in which two characteristics blend and both alleles can express themselves; one example is red, white, and pink snapdragons.

- Immune response - Anytime a foreign object is introduced into human tissues, the immune system is designed to attack the invader. The risk of stimulating the immune system in a way that reduces gene therapy effectiveness is always a potential risk.

The immune response to most antigens produces an antiserum — a heterogeneous mixture of antibodies.

The adaptive immune response depends on the creation of suitable peptides from foreign antigens for display on MHC molecules to T lymphocytes.

These proteins, called glycoproteins, are important in many cell processes, including binding by receptors and eliciting an immune response. Glycoproteins are often specific cell markers.

They function in the cellular immune response. White blood cells (leukocytes) are less than 1% of the blood's volume. They are made from stem cells in bone marrow. There are five types of leukocytes, important components of the immune system.

They are successful parasites because they dodge the host's immune response by changing the antigenic component of their surfaces.
The surface antigenic properties are due to a single protein, the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG).

lymphocytes - are central to all adaptive immune responses, since they specifically recognize individual pathogens, whether they are inside host cells or outside in the tissue fluids or blood. Two categories are T and B cells.
