Adaptive Immune response Flashcards
More specific component of the immune system
A highly specific mechanism of the immune system that recognizes a particular pathogen
Adaptive Immune System
Adaptive immunity is specific to a particular pathogen by using
cell-surface receptors
are involved with:
Activation of phagocytic cells
Release of chemicals and antigen-specific cells
T-CELLS
are involved in:
Steps that deal with the release of antibodies
B-CELLS
Lymphocytes with receptors that can recognize infecting pathogen are selected to participate
Recognition of the infectious pathogen
T-cells and B-cells are selected based on positive and negative selections
Selection of pathogen-specific lymphocytes
Adaptive immune response can be felt mostly a week after the infection started.
Effector mechanism
refers to the body’s ability to quickly recognize and act against an antigen as a response to previous exposure
Immunological Memory
immunity is a type of adaptive immunity that provides an immunological memory
Immunological Memory
What are the steps of the adaptive Immune System
