Such nomenclatural anachronisms as "Vibrio comma," "non-cholera vibrio," and "Salmonella typhosa" are examples of the ultraconservative approach of some medical sources to changes in nomenclature.

Cell Mediated & Humoral Immune Response (With Diagram) | Immunology | Biology

An immune response is a two-way assault on a pathogen – the cell mediated immune response and the humoral immune response. Cell Mediated Immune Response: Cell mediated immune response is carried out by the T-cells or T lymphocytes (Fig. 11). So, it is also called T-cell immunity. This type of immune response is to defend against pathogens that may invade [...]
