To which operating system include the NK cells?
The natural immune system
This term characterises the natural immunity:
Prompt response
It is part of the natural immune system:
Complement system
The afferent phase of the acquired (adaptive) immunity consists of ..
the recognition and presentation of the antigen, antigen and lymphocytes interaction
The central phase of the acquired (adaptive) immunity consists of ..
proliferation and differentiation of lymphocytes, production of antibodies
Is the conventional route of the complement cascade
activated by the antibody-antigen complex.
The alternative pathway of the complement cascade
is caused by microorganisms, where B and D are activated complement components
The role of complement factor C3a is …
causing inflammation
The way of the complement cascade
run the complement component C3, which in turn leads through C3b to the terminal reaction C5-C9, together
In the final phase of Complement Activation cascade
causes the C9 membrane drill cytolysis, as a result of the C5-C9 response chain
The forms of specific ( adaptive, acquired) immune response are…
Humoral immunity, cellular immunity
During the active immunity…
are produced due to an antigen stimulus antibodies and memory cells
