A dead or modified version of a pathogen which elicits the adaptive immune response
Vaccine
Where T cells mature
Thymus
Another term for adaptive immune response
Specific immune response
The process by which a macrophage engulfs a pathogen
Phagocytosis
Major process of the adaptive immune response, executed by B-cells, destroys the pathogen and prevents future infection by the same pathogen
Humoral immune response
Where B- cells and T-cells are stored
Lymph nodes
Activated by cytokines, release perforins to destroy infected cells
Cytotoxic t- cells
A type of Inate defense. Includes skin and mucus membranes
Barriers
Protein markers on the outside of our cells as well as pathogens. Can be familiar or foreign
Antigens
Major process of the adaptive immune response, executed by cytotoxic t-cells, destroys the pathogen and deals with infected body cells
Cell- mediated immune response
Where b-cells and t-cells are produced, where b-cells mature
Bone marrow
Lymphocytes that create antibodies
B-cells
Released by helper t-cells, activate b-cells and cytotoxic t-cells
Cytokines
Released by cytotoxic t-cells to destroy infected body cells
Perforins
B-cells and t-cells
Lymphocytes
