Multiple immune system components

Molecular classification
Antibody (Immunoglobulin), Cytokine, Complement protein, Immune cell surface receptor (e.g., T-cell receptor, B-cell receptor, Fc receptor), Pattern recognition receptor (PRR, e.g., Toll-like receptors), Enzyme (e.g., lysozyme, collagenase), Cell adhesion molecule (e.g., clusters of differentiation/CD markers), Ion channels, transporters, and other signaling molecules (context-dependent)
01

Overview

Multiple immune system components" collectively refers to the diverse molecules and cell types that work in concert to defend against pathogens, maintain tissue homeostasis, regulate inflammation, and coordinate adaptive and innate immune responses. These include immunoglobulins (antibodies), cytokines, complement proteins, pattern recognition receptors, and cell-surface molecules found on lymphocytes, phagocytes, and other immune cells. They play roles in pathogen recognition, cell signaling, antigen presentation, cytotoxicity, and regulation of immune balance. Each component can serve as a therapeutic target and biomarker, but the term itself is too general to specify a single molecule, receptor, or precise pharmacological target.
