There are many cells involved in adaptive immunity and requires them to work together for a fully functional adaptive response. These cells include: CD4 (Th1 & Th2) T cells, B cells (plasma and memory), professional antigen presenting (APC) cells that include: dendritic cell, B cells and macrophages.

Why does cell-mediated immunity decrease at puberty?
why do cell-mediated immunity decrease at puberty
What are the difference between antiviral immunity and anti bacterial immunity?
mostly antiviral immunity is the result of cell mediated immunity and antibacterial immunity is result of humoral immunity
Where do antibodies come from in the active immunity process?
You need to be more specific. Do you mean the Naturally acquired active immunity process or the Artificially acquired active immunity process? Both are of the Adaptive Immunity process. There are also passive processes for each.
What cell is the most critical cell in immunity?
helper T cell
What is the difference between innate immunity and adaptive immunity?
Innate is non-specific. It includes the first and second lines of defense. The first line of defense contains the skin, mucus membranes, and normal micro-biota. The second line contains the complement system, phagocytosis, fever, and inflammation.Adaptive is specific. It includes the third line of defense. The third line of defense contains B cells, which make antibodies, and T cells, which kill the target pathogen, and encourages phagocytosis.There is a huge difference between innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is one that is triggered as soon an antigen gets into the body. As for the adaptive, its has to be specific and will allow be introduced once the antigen is recognized.
Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?
Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.
What are 2 types of immunity?
Inate, Passisive and Adaptive.
The MHC is important in?
MHC is important in adaptive immunity. It provides your adaptive immunity, T cells, processed antigens so that it can decide whether what your cell has is a foreign substance that needs to be destroyed or if it is self that needs to be left alone.
What are the types of immunity?
The three types of immunity is innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and passive immunity.
What do IgE antibodies T cell receptors and MHC molecules have in common?
They are all players of your adaptive immunity.
How can cancer cells and virus infected body cells be killed before activation of adaptive immunity?
NK cell
What is adaptive immunity stimulated by?
antigen
Which part of the immune system can most effectively eliminate influenza virus that has infected body cells?
We call this type of immunity adaptive---> natural----> active immunity. Here how it works: Adaptive immunity involves two classes of lymphocyte: B cells and T cells which work together in a coordinated system of adaptive immunity B cells-antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity T cells-cell-mediated (cellular) immunity Adaptive immunity occurs in a series of stages 1. Recognition of antigen (flu virus) 2. Activation of lymphocytes 3. Effector phase (immune attack) 4. Decline of antigen causes lymphocyte death (homeostatic balance) 5. Memory cells remain for later response if needed
Is adaptive immunity provided only by lymphocytes that secrete antibodies?
false
What type of immunity has the properties of specificity and memory?
Acquired immunity (also known as adaptive immunity) This immune reaction is quite fast due to the immune memory.
Is lymphocytes in passive immunity?
it could be but it might be in the innate or adaptive immunity so you have about a 35 to 40% chance of being wrong or right
Are vaccines associated with innate or adaptive immunity?
Adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides a very basic general response against pathogens. It responds in the same manner. Adaptive immunity will provide a very specific response as well as retain memory of how to respond next time it encounters the same pathogen. That is the foundation for vaccinations. You introduce to your body in a safe way (destroyed virus) a pathogen that your body can kill so that upon secondary exposure it is well equipped to defend against it.
