Introduction:

The immune responses presented by the body are induced when a pathogen or an antigen capable of producing antibodies enters the body. The variation in the type of pathogen results in a change in the production of the type of cells that are used for killing it. The symptoms produced due to the immune response also vary with the variation in the type of the pathogen.
