How does spaceflight affect the acquired immune system? [PDF]
AbstractThe impact of spaceflight on the immune system has been investigated extensively during spaceflight missions and in model experiments conducted on Earth. Data suggest that the spaceflight environment may affect the development of acquired immunity, and immune responses.

The Acquired Immune System [PDF]
The invention of acquired immunity was like escalating a war with an omnipotent opponent, one that just deflects your energy or maybe even turns it back upon you. How does this knowledge affect the way we think about disease and immunity? For many years the study of immunology was carried out with little regard for infectious agents.

Innate and acquired humoral immunities to influenza virus are mediated by distinct arms of the immune system [PDF]
“Natural” Igs, mainly IgM, comprise part of the innate immune system present in healthy individuals, including antigen-free mice. These Igs are thought to delay pathogenicity of infecting agents until antigen-induced high affinity Igs of all isotypes are produced.

The NKT cell system: bridging innate and acquired immunity [PDF]
Although natural killer T cells are activated during infection, it is not clear how this process occurs. Closer examination indicates that recognition of endogenous ligands and interleukin 12, rather than bacterial products, may drive the activation process.

Acquired factor XI inhibitor with immune system disorder
Abstract Rationale: Acquired haemophilia is a bleeding disorder caused by inhibitors developed against endogenous coagulation factors in patients, disrupting the normal haemostasis. Most of the cases with acquired haemophilia present with acquired FVIII inhibitors and FIX inhibitors. Acquired FXI inhibitors in patient
