susceptible host, a series of coordinated events must rcumvent both innate and adaptive immunity. One of the first and most important features of host innate immunity is the barrier provided by the epithelial surfaces of the skin and the lining of the gut. The difficulty of penetrat- ing these epithelial barriers ensures that most pathogens never gain productive entry into the host. In addition to pro viding a physical barrier to infection, the epithelia also pro duce chemicals that are useful in

of the humoral branch of the immune system Research on complement began in the 1890s, when Jules bordet at the institut pasteur in paris showed that sheep antiserum to the bacterium vibrio cholerae caused lysis of the bacteria and that heating the antiserum destroyed its bacteriolytic activity. Surprisingly, the ability to lyse the bacteria was restored to the heated serum by adding fresh serum that contained no antibodies directed a The Functions of Complement

We have just got news from our bank that our documents were dishonored by INDUSTRY Bank TORONTO. So we write to you to see if we can settle this problem in a way accepted by both of us Recalling of the whole transaction we are really glad to build up

cell receptor when complexed with MHC,are called antigens. The molecular properties of antigens and he way in which these properties ultimately contribute to immune activation are central to our understanding of the mmune system. This chapter describes some of the molecu- Complementarity of Interacting Surfaces of Antibody(left) lar features of antigens recognized by B or T cells. The chap and Antigen(rig ter also explores the contribution made to immunogenicity by the biological system of the host; ultimately the biological system determines whether a molecule that combines with a a Immunogenicity Versus Antigenicity Bor T cells antigen-binding receptor can then induce an im

The term landscape commonly refers to the appearance of land, including its shape, texture, and colors It also reflects the way in which these various components combine to create specific patterns and pictures that are distinctive to particular localities These inscape is not a purely visual

Chapter 16 Objectives After you have read and studied this chapter, you should be able to Write recursive algorithms for mathematic functions and nonnumerical operations. Decide when to use recursion and when not to. Describe the recursive quicksort algorithm and explain how its performance is better than selection and bubble sort algorithms

The food manufacturing industry, in general, has always been a highly competitive business but no branch of it is more so than dehydration. Profitability hinges on so many factors, some of which are outside the manufacturer's control. One of the main hazards in this context is that of climate. Total solids in raw materials are the key to a viable operation, and, if these are low, due to wet growing conditions, the plant throughput is going to be seriously reduced
