The adaptive immune system gets a good deal of attention because it can be manipulated via immunisation, which at $40 billion per year is very big business indeed [1]. So big, in fact, that the pharma companies involved can afford to spend many millions of dollars to subvert organisations such as the CDC, to push mandatory immunisation programs [2].

Another reason for focusing on the adaptive immune system is that it can go wrong in many interesting ways. It is deeply involved in allergy, critically involved in autoimmune disease, and is an essential component in graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease.
