The two main categories of MHC proteins, responsible for presenting antigens to T cells.

A type of graft where tissue is transplanted from one part of a person's body to another part of the same body.

Specialized receptors on immune cells that detect and respond to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).

A system used to classify blood based on the presence or absence of specific carbohydrates (antigens) on red blood cell surfaces.

A test performed to determine if the recipient of a transplant has antibodies against the donor's tissues.

A process by which immune cells engulf and destroy foreign particles, microbes, and cellular debris.

A type of antibody predominantly found on the surface of B cells, playing a role in B cell activation.

Small, bean-shaped organs that filter lymph fluid, trapping and destroying pathogens.

A type of T cell that specifically targets and destroys cells infected with viruses or other intracellular pathogens.

The specific portion of an antigen that is recognized and bound by lymphocytes, such as B cells and T cells.

A type of antibody found in mucus secretions, primarily in the respiratory and digestive tracts.

The binding of the Fc portion of an antibody to the Fc receptor on an effector cell like a macrophage or NK cell.

A vast number, estimated to be around 1000, representing the diverse range of antibodies an individual can produce.

Humanized antibodies have a reduced risk of inducing human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMAs), making them more effective in fighting diseases.

The main site within the body where the mucosal immune system operates, protecting against pathogens entering through mucous membranes.

To engulf and destroy bacteria and viruses, playing a crucial role in innate immunity.
