Front Back
What are the two types of adaptive defenses?
  1. cell-mediated immunity
  2. antibody-mediated immunity
What is cell-mediated immunity?
T cells -defend against abnormal cells and pathogens inside cells -uses perforin and granzymes
What is antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity?
B cells -defends against pathogens (antigens) in the body fluids-uses antibodies
Active adaptive immunity
Antibodies develop AFTER exposure to antigenA B
Passive adaptive immunity
Antibodies are transferred from another source C D
Naturally acquired active immunity A
From environmental exposure to pathogens
Artificially induced active immunity B
Thought vaccines containing attenuated (weakened pathogens)
Adaptive active
Means your bode develops their own antigens
Naturally acquired passive immunity C
Antibodies acquired from mother
Naturally induced ​passive immunity D
By an injection of antibodies
Adaptive passive
Means the antibodies are pre-made
Specificity
Each T or B cells responds to a specific antigen-shape and size determine which lymphocyte responds
Versatility
Any antigen any time -active lymphocytes makes clone of itself that are sensitive to the same antigen
Memory
  • active group invades immediately
  • inactive responds a second time since they remember the antigen and respond with stronger attack
Tolerance
Immune system ignored normal antigens -any b or ts that attack self are destroyed
