Q

what are the 3 phases in immune responses to pathogens

A

-establishment of infection
usually it is innate, apc and pnm that will play a role
-induction of adaptive response
adaptive aka t and B cells, slower
-adaptive immune response
-immunological memory

Q

what are the diverse immune mechanisms for dealing with a broad range of pathogens

A

-surveillance: using apcs
-self tolerance: minimizing responses to self
-effector: maximizing effector functions to deal with pathogens in fluids, tissues, vesicles
-memory: retaining a memory of that pathogen to respond more effectively next time

Q

How does the immune system adapt to
antigen challenge?

A
  1. A vast universe of distinct antigenic specificities.
  2. Highly specific recognition of foreign antigens with potent mechanisms
    for pathogen elimination: potential for fine-tuning (speed, magnitude, affinity and efficiency).
  3. The capacity to display immunological memory (i.e. re-infection)
  4. Tolerance to self-antigens.
