Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Immunity is a biological term that describes a state of having sufficient biological defenses to avoid infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion. Immunity involves both specific and non-specific components. The non-specific components act either as barriers or as eliminators of wide range of pathogens irrespective of antigenic specificity. Other components of the immune system adapt themselves to each new disease encountered and are able to generate pathogen-specific immunity. Adaptive immunity is often sub-divided into two major types depending on how the immunity was introduced. Naturally acquired immunity occurs through contact with a disease causing agent, when the contact was not deliberate, whereas artificially acquired immunity develops only through deliberate actions such as vaccination. Both naturally and artificially acquired immunity can be further subdivided depending on whether immunity is induced in the host or passively transferred from a immune host. Passive immunity is acquired through transfer of antibodies or activated T-cells from an immune host, and is short lived -- usually lasting only a few months -- whereas active immunity is induced in the host itself by antigen, and lasts much longer, sometimes life-long. The diagram below summarizes these divisions of immunity. From Wikipedia under the

Viruses "generate" an immune response. 3 such virus ..some common one:1-Herpes, Chicken Pox( varicella zoster virus), Rabies virus( Rabies disease), Measles Virus, Rubella virus. Bacteria: pneumonia( streptococcus pneumoniae),Salmonella(sa lmonella species), Gonorrhea( Neisseria gonorrhoeae)..other diseases- syphylis,cholera..you can google these and see the name of the bacteria. Viruses are parasites and their mode of operation varies. They can survive only when they parasitise another organism, you name the organism and there is a virus that lives on it.They live in our cells, the nucleus, cytoplasm and they live in a varied number of cells. Some specialise in cells of the nervous system, immune… [cont.] Answered by Human in every way - Thu Apr 2 17:56:58 2009 How do I make my immune system strong again? Q. For the past few months I can't seem to stop getting sick. It's like I get better from one thing and then another thing comes on. It started off with pneumonia, then I got strep throat, then I got the stomach flu, now I have a virus. It seems that I just can't increase my immune system back to where it was without something hitting me. Any suggestions on possible things I could take to increase my immune system would be great!

Staying hydrated will definitely help your body return to its normal state. Also, of course orange juice, or if you cannot stomach orange juice try vitamin c pills. Also, antioxidants. You can get those from blueberries, blackberries, almonds, several sources. And bare naked makes a drink called the antioxidant. It's fabulous. try those and I hope you feel better!! Also! Avoid germs. Carry hand sanitizer, and use it any time you come in contact with public things. Grocery carts for example. And wipe surfaces like desks clean. This will limit the amount of germs that you come in contact with. And last but not least try to avoid touching your face!… [cont.] Answered by Lovey - Sat Jan 3 11:02:15 2009 How does the immune system responds to the West Nile virus?
