Abstract:
Time is an important factor for every patient affected by chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. More often than not we cannot predict the natural outcome of the process neither determine whether a remission depends on a particular treatment schedule or it does depend on the restoring capability by the "health drive." Autoimmune manifestations appear to be entangled with time in most complex ways.

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
