Polysaccharide antigen with multiple repeating subunits B-cell receptors YY} FIGURE 15.16 T-Independent Antigens Antigens such as some polysaccharides have multiple repeating epitopes. Because of the arrangement of epitopes, clusters of B-cell receptors bind to the antigen simultaneously, leading to B-cell activation without the involvement of TH cells. (YY

Immunology

Immunology is the division of science involved with the immune reactions occurring in living organisms. The organisms are accustomed to evolving internal defense mechanisms to evade the invasion of microbial pathogens. Diverse cells are connected with stimulating the immune responses, which produce inhospitable conditions to the microbes prompting their lysis and thus inhibits the multiplication of the pathogens. The immune system can distinguish the pathogens through the aid of cellular intercommunication and launch responses to destroy them.
