[Response of the immunological system to infection with particular reference to the role of NF-kappa B agent].
Main components of innate and acquired immunity participating in the response to infection were discussed. The role of NF-kappa B transcription factor was stressed as a key regulatory agent governing the immune response to infection. Attention was also paid to the escape mechanisms of microbes to avoid immune reaction of the host.
