Innate Immunity

Medzhitov, Ruslan, Janeway, Charles·2000·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

The immune system has traditionally been divided into innate and adaptive components, each with a different function and role. The adaptive component is organized around two classes of specialized cells, T cells and B cells. Since each lymphocyte displays a single kind of structurally unique receptor, the repertoire of antigen receptors in the entire population of lymphocytes is very large and extremely diverse. The size and diversity of this repertoire increase the probability that an individual lymphocyte will encounter an antigen that binds to its receptor, thereby triggering activation and proliferation of the cell. This process, termed clonal selection, accounts . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
