Challenge to the immune system is presented by the rapid growth of the human
population, the crowding together of many individuals in large cities, and
the existence of high-speed means of travel. Such factors change our
relationship to viruses, bacteria and parasites. Will the immune system
retain the upper hand?

The marvelous array of deftly interacting cells that defend the body
against microbial and viral invaders arises from a few precursor
cells that first appear about nine weeks after conception. From that
point onward, the cells of the immune system go through a
continuously repeated cycle of development. The stem cells on which
the immune system depends both reproduce themselves and give rise to
many specialized lineages - B cells, macrophages, killer T cells,
helper T cells, inflammatory T cells. Environmental and genetic
signals cue cells as they differentiate into the many lineages that
recognize foreign antigens and fight off invaders.
