Pathogen Clearance

Pathogen clearance is the biological process by which a host organism detects, neutralizes, and eliminates infectious agents. This academic concept investigates the diverse cellular and molecular mechanisms employed by the immune system and other host defense pathways, representing a fundamental aspect of host resistance to infection and the resolution of disease.
