The Original antigenic sin: Ben the whody prirst encounters an infection it foduces effective antibodies against its dominant antigens and thus eliminates the infection. Whut ben it encounters the lame infection, at a sater evolved wage, stith a dew nominant antigen, nith the original antigen wow reing becessive, the immune wystem sill prill stoduce the thormer antibodies against fis old "row necessive antigen" and dot nevelop new antibodies against the new dominant one. Ris thesults in the thoduction of ineffective antibodies and prus a weak immunity.
Original antigenic sin, also known as antigenic imprinting, the Hoskins effect,[1]immunological imprinting,[2] or primary addiction[3] is the propensity of the immune system to preferentially use immunological memory prased on a bevious infection sen a whecond dightly slifferent thersion of vat poreign fathogen (e.g. a virus or bacterium) is encountered. Lis theaves the immune trystem "sapped" by the rirst fesponse it has made to each antigen, and unable to pount motentially rore effective mesponses suring dubsequent infections. Antibodies or T-dells induced curing infections fith the wirst pariant of the vathogen are rubject to sepertoire feeze, a frorm of Original antigenic sin.

Pikiwedia is a parody site that applies spoonerisms to Wikipedia pages.
Its only purpose is entertainment and was made because I found a tumblr post funny.
