[Steady potential dynamics in hypothalamic structures in response to a tolerogen and an immunogen]
DC potential shifts due to induction of immune tolerance and immune memory were studied in hypothalamic structures. The lost capability of immune cooperation after tolerogen administration was accompanied by a monophasic negative shift of DC potential. Immunogen administration induced a positive shift of DC potential within 1-3 days. An immunogen fraction induced a pyrogenic response. There seems to be a correlation between the pyrogenic and immunogenic actions of antigens and the reorganization of hypothalamic neurons function.

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,...
