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.

New Aspect of Immune System: Innate Immunity and Acquired Immunity
Recently, it has been turned out that our internal defense system is composed of two distinct components; innate/natural immune system and acquired/adaptive immune system. The former innate immunity is principally located at the surface area such as skin and mucosal compartment, while the latter acquired immunity is observed mainly in the circulating ...

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.

A hierarchical framework of the acquired immune system
The acquired immune system provides a general pattern recognition and defence system that modifies itself, adapting to improve its capability with experience. This work elaborates upon and refines the definition of a previously proposed hieratical acquired immune system framework.
