Document Summary

Lecture 4 b cell immunity (intro to adaptive immunity) Main defenses in adaptive immunity. B cell- mediated immunity: against extracellular pathogens: antibodies. Adaptive since immune response is more efficient with re- exposure to the same pathogen larger response faster response magnitude of the immune response. Ability to adapt to the environment. First exposure to the pathogen, develop a primary immune response. Second and all subsequent exposure is called a memory immune response. Magnitude is much better after primary exposure. Primary response can take 5- 10 days, memory response is. 1- 3 days (faster and better response) Primary immune response magnitud e of the immune response. Immunological memory is the basis for vaccination. First exposure to pathogen (primary immune response): naive b & t cells develop into effector cells and memory cells. Subsequent exposures to identical pathogen (memory response): Memory cells respond to pathogen. Important features of adaptive immunity are memory and. Adaptive immune system involves lymphoic tissues.
