attack the microorganisms.
Cell eating
Phagocytosis
Live, attenuated chicken cholera and anthrax vaccines
▪ He came up with another vaccine, this time, this is for cholera and anthrax.
▪ A significant figure in microbiology
Pasteur
Cellular theory of immunity through phagocytosis
Elie Metchnikoff

o Which now invole the antibodies
Emil Adolf Von Behring & Shibasaburo Kitasato
Antibody formation theory
o Like how and why we produce antibodies
Paul Ehrlich
Development of polio vaccine
Jonas Salk & Albert Sabin
Development of human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine
Ian Frazer
HPV actually led to the development of
Cervical cancer
2 division of Immune system
Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate and Adaptive
-Present in both
Self/ non-self discrimination
Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Present in both
Self/ non-self discrimination
the amount of time when there is no action yet of the immune system.
Lag phase
For the ______ there is not much lag phase, that means that once it sees the pathogen it will immediately act on it.
innate
For the ________, there is a lag phase on the first time that it encounters the pathogen/s.
adaptive
The _______ is not that specific, that means it will usually attack almost all the pathogens regardless of specificty
innate
On the ______ side, it is specific to a particular pathogen only.
▪ This has a distinct advantage.
adaptive
