what is low intensity immune response?

Solution

When any pathogen attacks our body, immune system starts working. If the pathogen is powerful the immune response also needs to be highly intense. But when the pathogen is not that harmful the response given by the immune system is not that intense. In this case or in normal physical condition our system provides low intensity immune response.
