Chapter 9, Problem 5CT
Summary Introduction
To determine: What would happen if a physician tries Edward Jenner’s experiment today.
Introduction: An immune system is a defense system that consists of many biological structures and processes inside an organism in order to protect against the diseases. If the immune system does not function properly, it may lead to many serious disorders. These disorders possess low activity or over activity of the immune system.
