AB  - Innate  immunity  (see  Chapter  58)  and  antibodies  (see  Chapter  61)  are  important  mechanisms  for  preventing  infections  from  taking  hold,  but  in  many  infectious  diseases,  it  is  primarily  the  T  cells  that  orchestrate  resistance  and  recovery.  Furthermore,  T  cells  are  important  in  the  immune  system’s  surveillance  for  cancer,  and  they  are  responsible  for  most  autoimmune  diseases  and  rejection  of  organ  transplants.  The  strongest  evidence  for  the  importance  of  T  cells  comes  from  the  increase  in  infections  and  cancers  that  occurs  when  T-cell  function  is  reduced  by  immunosuppressive  drugs,  by  acquired  diseases  such  as  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV),  or  in  congenital  (primary)  immunodeficiency  syndromes.
