Difference between Cross-reactivity and Outline of immunology

Cross-reactivity vs. Outline of immunology

Cross-reactivity, in a general sense, applies to the reaction between two different species as opposed to self-reactivity. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to immunology: Immunology is the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms.

Similarities between Cross-reactivity and Outline of immunology

Cross-reactivity and Outline of immunology have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adaptive immune system, Antibody, Antigen, CD8, Epitope, Immune system, Immunoglobulin E, Pathogen, T cell, Virus.

Adaptive immune system

The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system or, more rarely, as the specific immune system, is a subsystem of the overall immune system that is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth.

Antibody

An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Antigen

In immunology, an antigen is a molecule capable of inducing an immune response (to produce an antibody) in the host organism.

CD8

CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR).

Epitope

An epitope, also known as antigenic determinant, is the part of an antigen that is recognized by the immune system, specifically by antibodies, B cells, or T cells.

Immune system

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.

Immunoglobulin E

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody (or immunoglobulin (Ig) "isotype") that has only been found in mammals.

Pathogen

In biology, a pathogen (πάθος pathos "suffering, passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") or a '''germ''' in the oldest and broadest sense is anything that can produce disease; the term came into use in the 1880s.

T cell

A T cell, or T lymphocyte, is a type of lymphocyte (a subtype of white blood cell) that plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity.

Cross-reactivity and Outline of immunology Comparison

Cross-reactivity has 39 relations, while Outline of immunology has 972. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 0.99% = 10 / (39 + 972).
