Measles virus-specific T cells and the production of cytokines play a critical role in the immune response following measles immunization. ... Median values for measles-specific IFN-gamma and IL-4 secretion levels were 40.73 and 9.71 pg/ml, respectively. The global tests suggested associations between measles-specific IFN...

If the body detects an antigen that it previously met, a specific immune response occurs. In this response, the body has been trained to recognize and neutralize a familiar specific antigen; its immune system "remembers" the antigen.

Given the fact that HIV-specific immune responses are undetectable in some patients in primary infection while the virus level is decreasing, it is possible that the reduction in virus level during primary infection is due to population dynamics and not a reflection of the ability of the HIV-specific immune response to ...

Two kinds of lymphocytes operate in the specific immune response: T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, (T lymphocytes are made in the thymus gland, while B lymphocytes are made in bone marrow). The T and B lymphocytes migrate to other parts of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes, Peyer's patches, and tonsils.
