What is Antigen A?
An antigen is actually foreign or toxic to the human body. It stimulates an adaptive immune response and binds to a antibody.
What are three characteristics of the adaptive immune response?
1) it is specific, 2) systemic, 3) and it has memory
What is the ability to respond to a particular antigen by binding to it called?
Imunocompetent
What is adaptive immunity stimulated by?
antigen
Would lack of memory B cells for a particular antigen impact the primary or secondary humoral response?
secondary humoral response.
What is the protein made in a response to a specific antigen called?
An antigen is a protein made in response to a specific antigen.
Compare and contrast the roles of B cells T helper cells Th cells and cytotoxic T cells Tc cells in your immune system?
b-cell- humeral- antibody based response to antigen t-cell - cell mediated response to antigen both are components of the adaptive immune system
What is antigene and antibody?
An antigen is a substance that can invoke an immune response. While an antibody is the immune system's response to an antigen. Antibodies, act by directly neutralizing the antigen and/or bind to the antigen and signaling marcophages to phagocytose the antigen.
Adaptive immunity is produced by which cell?
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.
What are substances made in response to a specific antigen?
Giant turtles are what are made in response to a specific antigen. Hope I Helped!
When the immune system does not respond to a particular antigen?
Tolerance exists when the immune system does not respond to a particular antigen. All cells and tissues in the body contain antigens that normally do not stimulate an immune response. The immune system is said to exhibit tolerance toward such antigens.
What is a substance that causes an immune response called?
Antigen
