| | Immunity |
 | | It is not difficult for ingenious plaintiff's counsel to create a material issue of fact on some element of the immunity defense where subtle questions of constitutional law and a decisionmaker's mental processes are involved. | | | In contrast with the thought processes accompanying "ministerial" tasks, the judgments surrounding discretionary action almost inevitably are influenced by the decisionmaker's experiences, values, and emotions. | | | We fairly may assume that some aides are assigned to act as Presidential "alter egos," id., at 616-617, in the exercise of functions for which absolute immunity is "essential for the conduct of the public business," Butz, supra, at 507. |

| | Michael A. Tunks, Diplomats or Defendants? Defining the Future of Head-of-State Immunity, 52 Duke L. J. 651 (2003) |
| | The most powerful justification for diplomatic immunity is functional necessity: in the absence of such immunity, diplomats would not be able to effectively represent their countries, and international relations in turn would suffer. | | | This framework leaves U.S. policymakers substantial flexibility in seeking accountability though political means, and furthers the purposes of the head-of-state immunity doctrine by eliminating the chilling effect on diplomacy that stems from uncertainty about the legal scope of head-of-state immunity. | | | While respecting the functional need for head-of-state immunity, the framework articulated by the Yerodia and Mugabe courts provides nations with several ways to seek accountability from particular violators of fundamental human rights norms. |

| | Acquired immunity is when the body is exposed to various antigens and builds a defense that is specific to that antigen. | | | For example, an individual who has had chickenpox is immune to getting chickenpox again. | | | Your immune system includes barriers that keep harmful materials from entering your body. |

| | From some of the statements regarding the nature of CAF, it could be interpreted that molecular immunity may be similar to so called transfer factor (TF), described in the old immunology literature. | | | Yet, the two well-characterized forms of immunologic response—humoral immunity (HI) and cell-mediated immunity (CMI)—do not seem to be effective against many retroviruses (reviewed in 25). | | | This focus is due largely to history and momentum—HI and CMI are two well-studied and well-understood immunologic phenomena, and agents stimulating these responses have led to many successful vaccines in the past. |

| | Innate immunity refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen's appearance in the body. | | | Adaptive immunity also includes a "memory" that makes future responses against a specific antigen more efficient. | | | These mechanisms include physical barriers such as skin, chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attack foreign cells in the body. |
