| Abstract text: | Many times one says that the organism is a microcosmos in a macrocosmos. The existence of human organism is determined by the activity of some resistance and immunity mechanism capable to protect the clinical individuality of its substances (self) and those who are foreigners (non-self). These mechanisms are made to put away non-self substances and they are tolerated by the self-molecules – these molecules are composing the immune system. This system is a real mobile brain being among the most complex systems of the body. His formula is given by a whole connection of intercellular communications, by his ubiquity in the organism and by the multiple effects given by a small number of cells categories. The immune system presents: the area of nonspecific resistance (from birth) and the specific area (the immune system); the existence of the two types of lymphocytes (T and B) that gives the cellular and humoral immunity; the lymphocytes have modulatory activity under the action of some cells and some humoral factors either to stimulate or to inhibit; the existence of central lymph nodes (primary) and peripheral lymph nodes (secondary); the existence of an immune primary and secondary request; the presence in the molecules of the antibodies structures and functions; the antibodies molecule recognizes the specific epitope and that molecule is recognized by those who have receptive role, so it has double compartment. |
