Janeway

The Janeway Model is a framework used in immunology to understand how the immune system initiates responses against pathogens. It highlights the crucial role of specialized immune cells called dendritic cells, which detect infection and transport signals (antigens) to lymph nodes. Here, they activate T cells, warning the body of potential threats and coordinating the immune attack. The Janeway Model emphasizes the importance of innate immune sensors recognizing common features of pathogens, triggering adaptive responses. In essence, it explains how the immune system quickly detects and mobilizes defenses to protect the body effectively.
