Further viral infection
Acquired immunity is pathogen —-
Specific
Acquired immunity is characterized by
Memory
When our body encounters a pathogen for the first time, it produces—

Primary response is of — intensity
Low
Subsequent encounter with —– elicits a highly —– secondary response (—– response)
Same pathogen
Intensified
Anamnestic
—– is ascribed to the fact that our body appears to have memory of the first encounter
Anamnestic response
Primary and secondary responses are carried out with the help of
2 special type of lymphocyte present in BLOOD-
B lymphocytes
T lymphocytes
B lymphocytes produce —- (—-) in response to pathogen into our — to fight with them
An army of proteins - antibodies
The T cells also secrete antibodies. T/F

T lymphocytes
VERY OFTEN when human organs like —-,—-,—-,—- fail to function satisfactorily , — is the ONLY remedy to enable the patient to live a normal life

Transplantation
Grafts from any source: —-,—–,—– cannot be made since grafts would be —- sooner or later
Animal, another primate or any human being
Rejected
—– and —– are essential before undertaking any graft/transplant and even after this the patient has to take —— ALL THORIGH LIFE

Immunosuppresants
the body is able differentiate between —- and —-

—– is responsible for graft rejection
CMI
When host is exposed to antigens (—- or — microbes or other —-) antibodies are produced in the host body called ____
Living or dead microbes
or other proteins
Active immunity
—– immunity is slow and takes time to give —– response
Active, full effective
Injecting microbes deliberately during —– or infectious agents gaining access into the body during —– induces active immunity
Immunisation
Natural infection
Def of passive immunity
When ready made antibodies are directly given to protect body against foreign agents

New born infant
a —- fluid called —- is secreted during —– of lactation, has abundant —– to protect the INFANT
Yellowish
Coloustrum
Initial days
Antibodies- IgA
The —- also receives some antibodies from their mother through — during pregnancy
Foetus
Placenta
The principle of immunization or vaccination is based on
Property of memory of immune system
In vaccination, a preparation of ——- of pathogen or —— pathogen (vaccine) are introduced into the body
Antigenic proteins
Inactivated/weakened pathogen (vaccine)
The antibodies produced in the body against these induced antigens would neutralize pathogenic agents during —–
actual infection
Vaccines generate memory B and memory Tcells
T/F
True
Memory B and T cells recognise the pathogen quickly on —– and overwhelm the invaders with —-
Subsequent exposure
Massive production of antibodies
If a person is infected with some deadly microbes to which —– is req, as in —-, we need to inject preformed antibodies or —— (preparation containing antibodies to the toxin)
