Adaptive Immune Response
Adaptive Immune System More specific component of the immune system A highly specific mechanism of the immune system that recognizes a particular pathogen Infectious agents
Innate and Adaptive Immune Response Effector mechanism is similar to innate immune response Adaptive immunity is specific to a particular pathogen by using cell-surface receptors Bacteria
Difference between innate and adaptive immunity Comparison between innate and adaptive immunity
Cells of the Adaptive Immune System T cells are involved with: Activation of phagocytic cells Release of chemicals and antigen-specific cells Immune cells
Cells of the Adaptive Immune System B cells are involved in: Steps that deal with the release of antibodies Immune cells
Development of B-cells and T-cells
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response Recognition of the infectious pathogen Lymphocytes with receptors that can recognize infecting pathogen are selected to participate Pathogen recognition
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response Selection of pathogen-specific lymphocytes T-cells and B-cells are selected based on positive and negative selections T cells
Steps of the Adaptive Immune Response Effector mechanism Adaptive immune response can be felt mostly a week after the infection started. Arm Redness as a result of immune response
Example of an Adaptive Immune Response Influenza virus causes an infection in the lower respiratory tract. Symptoms can be felt for 3-4 days after infection and will continue to persist for 5-7 days Symptoms of influenza
Immunological Memory Immunological memory refers to the body’s ability to quickly recognize and act against an antigen as a response to previous exposure Memory cells
Immunological Memory Acquired immunity is a type of adaptive immunity that provides an immunological memory Memory cells
Adaptive immune response refers to a highly specific mechanism of the immune system that recognizes a particular pathogen. 1 Immunological memory refers to the body’s ability to quickly recognise and act against an antigen. 2 The cells involved in immunological memory are memory T-cells and memory B-cells. 3
Write true if the statement is accurate, and false if otherwise. The adaptive immune response is slower than the innate immune response. All animals have the adaptive immune response. The adaptive immune response builds memory. The adaptive immune response becomes faster after the initial exposure. The innate immune response is more efficient in the first exposure.
Why is the adaptive immune system slow on the first exposure?
