The immune system is extremely complex. It uses multiple mechanisms to control invading pathogens. Vaccination is an important tool in disease control. The most effective vaccines are based on attenuated live microorganisms, but these carry some risk and are potentially lethal to immunosuppressed or immunodeficient individuals. Better techniques for developing live-attenuated vaccines, or vaccines that incorporate both immunogenic components and protective antigens of pathogens, are therefore being sought. Most current viral vaccines are based on live attenuated virus, but many bacterial vaccines are based on components of the micro-organism, including components of the toxins that it produces. The emergence of resistance among several important pathogens threatens to undermine this accomplishment, and despite some successes chemotherapeutic treatments for viral, fungal, and parasitic infections are more limited. Understanding the mechanisms whereby pathogens manipulate the immune system to favor their survival, or exploit weaknesses in host immunity, can lead to novel approaches for the treatment of infections by redirecting host immune responses against the pathogen.
