2b) Adaptive immune response
2
Q
2a) Innate Immune Response
A
- 1st line of defense
- Indiscriminately attacks pathogens
Leads to:
- Mucosal immunity - IgA, IgM
- All granulocytes reacts
3
Q
2b) Adaptive Immune Response
A
- Follows innate response
- Targets specific pathogens
- Produces antigen specific memory
Leads to:
- T lymphocytes
- B lymphocytes
= humoral immunity / cell mediated immunity
