Question
The human immune system has developed mechanisms to combat pathogens. In response, pathogens have adapted mechanisms to evade/overcome the immune system.
A. Name three immune evasion strategies used by bacterial pathogens. For each strategy, specify the type of immune response this strategy is used to evade (there may be more than one immune response, just give one). (6 points)
B. Pick one immune evasion strategy-immune response combination from your answer above and give an example of an alternative immune response that can counteract this form of immune evasion. Give a brief explanation of how this alternative immune response overcomes the former immune-evasion strategy. (3 points)
