Immunology

Question 1

Define the main mechanisms of an innate or adaptive response and the
effectors that cause these

Answer 1

The effectors of the innate system include, Natural killer cells, Phagocytes and macrophages

The effectors of the adaptive immune system are the B and T cells.

The naive B cells move into the lymphatic system to circulate throughout the body. In the lymphatic system, naive B cells encounter an antigen, which starts the maturation process for the B cell. B cells each have one of millions of distinctive surface antigen-specific receptors that are inherent to the organism’s DNA
