The response of the host to
infectious diseases is a critical determinant
of sensitivity
or resistance to infection. Involving both
the innate and adaptive immune
responses, the host response to any specific
pathogen may be unique to that agent.
However, despite these unique responses, there
is also a common basis for the host
response to many diverse infectious organisms.
This mini-symposium will describe
the host response to several unique pathogens
and provide attendees with insight into the
commonalities and differences seen in these
model systems. |
