Immunity in the human respiratory tract is provided by a diverse range of tissue-resident cells, including specialized epithelial and macrophage populations and a network of innate and innate-like lymphocytes, such as natural killer cells, innate lymphoid cells, and invariant T cells. Lung-resident memory T and B cells contribute to this network following initial exposure to antigenic stimuli. This review explores how advances in the study of human immunology have shaped our understanding of this resident immune network and its response to two of the most commonly encountered inflammatory stimuli in the airways: viruses and allergens. It discusses the many ways in which pathogenic infection and allergic inflammation mirror each other, highlighting the key checkpoints at which they diverge and how this can result in a lifetime of allergic exacerbation versus protective anti-viral immunity. This review examines many ways in which pathogenic infection and allergic inflammation mirror each other, highlighting the key checkpoints at which they diverge and how this can result in a lifetime of allergic exacerbation versus protective anti-viral immunity.

This role of Quaternary glaciation in determining the present-day form of the Scottish landscape is covered in Chapter 4, "The Ice Age in Scotland", and Chapter 5, "Glacial landforms". In contrast, Chapter 5 deals with the finer details; the resulting landforms of glacial erosion and deposition that have redefined and augmented the preglacial Cenozoic landscape. The concluding Chapter 10, "Key sites", provides an overview of nine significant localities in Scotland that provide exemplars of the range of landforms and processes discussed in the previous chapters.
