Q

Antigens

A

any foreign substance that does not have the characteristic cell surface markers of an individual and is capable of eliciting an immune response
- antigens are recognized by specific receptors present on them by lymphocytes/antibodies

Q

innate immunity (natural/native)

A
  • first responders to insult
  • response is rapid and same at all times
  • Nonspecific: does not distinguish between different types of invaders (bacteria, virus)
  • Nonadaptive: does not remember the previous encounter

Q

acquired/adaptive immunity

A
  • body knows what to do but also thinks slowly
  • slower response: when reintroduced then rapid and intense immune response
  • Diversity, specificity, memory, self and non-self recognition
