Document Summary

Describe how antibodies function to remove or neutralize pathogens. Describe the kinetics of antibody production following primary exposure vs. re-exposure to a protein vs. non-protein antigen. Antigen can have many, many different epitopes on its surface. Thus you have multiple b-cells binding to a single antigen to attack one pathogen. When the naive b cell binds to an epitope on a specific antigen (and its helper t-cell), it undergoes clonal expansion. Becomes plasma cells that secrete antibodies and also becomes memory b cells. If naive b-cells do not bind to an antigen was it circulates through the secondary lymphoid tissue it will remain inactive and re-circulate. Can"t get to an intracellular pathogen because it can"t enter cells. Morphology of naive and memory cells are the same. Can"t tell them apart and up until very recently we did not know they existed. Defined by the differences in the constant region of the heavy chain. Better because it can bind more effectively.

30. _____ The protective immunity canbe generated against any pathogen because there is virtuallyunlimited number of possible V regions, thus any antigen can berecognize by an antibody.
