• In fact, sometimes fighting off one enemy can leave a hole in your defenses that another opportunistic pathogen can take advantage of.

BAM! Understanding the rivals

• The potential bad guys include cancer cells and dangerous microorganisms – including bacteria, viruses, fungi and more – that cause infections.
• The immune system must also be careful not to damage healthy cells and beneficial microorganisms that live on and inside you.

• Your skin, snot, saliva and tears form a critical first line of defense.
• Gathering an army of immune cells to fight pathogens takes a lot of energy and makes you feel awful.

BOOM! Where are their weaknesses?

• Pathogens have specific parts on their surfaces called pathogen associated molecular patterns, or PAMPs.
• Because the same PAMP is present on many different pathogens, a strategy to combat one PAMP can defeat many pathogens.
• There are molecules in cells all over your body that can recognize PAMPS and destroy anything those PAMPS are on.

SPLAT! Raising an army of defenders

• When the virus that causes COVID-19 emerged in 2019, it was something people’s immune systems likely had never seen before.
• The immune system makes many immune cells that are specific to antigens, or unique and recognizable parts of cancers and microorganisms, it hasn’t encountered before.
• The DNA in each of these immune cells is different from the DNA in any other cell in your body.
• Since pathogens can also multiply rapidly, clonal selection allows you to rapidly raise an army to fight them.
• It would take a tremendous amount of energy and time to build an appropriate army against each microorganism all at once.
