What is a rise in body temperature that is used to help the immune system fight a pathogen?

A fever happens in order to weaken the pathogens inside the body. Once they are weakened, it is hard for them to reproduce and it is easier for the body to dispose of the pathogens. But if a fever gets too high, it breaks down protiens and can lead to permanent brain damage and damage to other parts of the body.

What is the role of memory cells in providing acquired immunity?
The idea of immunisation is that you expose the immune system to the pathogen, ennabling it to recognise the pathogen and produce mature memory Helper T cells. This means that upon its second exposure the immune system is activated faster and more efficiently, allowing the immune system to kill off the pathogen quicker. In some cases antibodies are produced that can neutralise toxins, preventing their damaging effects. If memory T cells were not produced then the immune system would have to re-learn how to fight a pathogen every time.
