Document Summary

Immune dynamics and memory longer to get going once initiated (days) In most cases the effector mechanisms involved are the same, but the targeting mechanism has changed. For innate, the specificity is limited and fixed and the response. As soon as virus arrives fast innate recognition and response minutes to hours. Adaptive immunity shows up when innate immunity doesn"t cut it (ctls) takes is the same each time involves barriers, phagocytes, prrs more rapid and effective with each subsequent exposure . Innate recognition broad, but (cid:498)restrained(cid:499) local response. For adaptive, specificity is highly diverse and adapts to improve during the course of the immune response; it also is involves t and b lymphocytes, antigen-specific receptors, abs direction it takes to differentiate depends on cytokines in the environment. Once you get along and the infection is controlled, eventually want to eliminate the virus, needs us to decide to make the kind of immune response we want.
