Document Summary

Developments of specific effector cells and molecules after exposure to antigen: antibody formation, t-cell mediated immunity. When things go wrong with the immune response. Pathogenesis of disease path microbe takes in the human body that enables it to cause tissue damage and disease. Resistance includes many steps; involvement of the body through a variety of mechanisms that stop infection from progressing (mechanism that stops the steps: resistance mechanisms: Both have different components and characteristics but both are necessary for optimal resistance to infection. What are important steps and what mechanisms can interfere: prevention of adherence, prevent invasion of cells through epithelium, kill cells before they can grow, produce toxins induce tissue damage, neutralize toxins. Invade surrounding tissue and distant tissue: neutralize toxins, kill to prevent further growth. Experiment infection and pathogen clearance in normal and immunodeficient animals. Animals lacking innate immunity: cannot clear pathogens, numbers increase rapidly.
