What is a primary response?
(The response that the immune system displays when first exposed to an antigen.) (medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/primary+response)
What gives a rise to plasma cells during primary immune response?
B-cells differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells in the primary immune response. The memory cells then produce antibodies.In the secondary, memory cells created in the primary differentiate into plasma cells and secrete antibodies immediately. This is a much faster response, explaining why the secondary response causes a person to suffer less or unnoticeably.
Following a primary immune response the cells that give rise to memory cells are?
Both B cells and T cells
Explain how the cells of the immune system evoke and maintain an immune response?
Chuck Norris evokes and maintains an immune response.
What are especially important because they are involved in a variety of processes such as cell signaling immune response and enzyme activity?
Proteins
Which is more rapid primary or secondary immune response?
Secondary Immune Response is more rapid.
What is a primary response?
(The response that the immune system displays when first exposed to an antigen.) (medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/primary+response)
Similarities between primary and secondary immune response?
Well...
What class of antibody is produced in the primary immune response?
The class of immunoglobulin that is produced in the primary immune response is Immmunoglobulin M (IgM). On secondary exposure, the class that predominates would be Immunoglobulin G (IgG).
Name three features of secondary immune responses that distinguish it from a primary immune response?
Primary Immune response: 1) Smaller Peak Response 2) Usually IgM>IgG 3) Lowere average Antibody Affinity Secondary Immune Response 1) Larger Peak Response 2) Relative increase in IgG and under certain situations in IgA or IgE ( Heavy Isotype switching) 3) Higher Average Antibody Affinity ( Affinity Maturation)
What distinguishes the secondary immune response from the primary immune response?
the secondary immune response is faster and stronger than the first. the primary response also takes a few days to react with the antigen whereas the secondary immune response reacts faster to an antigen.
What is a substance that can stimulate a primary immune response but is not abble to produce the symptoms of a disease?
vaccine
What gives a rise to plasma cells during primary immune response?
B-cells differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells in the primary immune response. The memory cells then produce antibodies.In the secondary, memory cells created in the primary differentiate into plasma cells and secrete antibodies immediately. This is a much faster response, explaining why the secondary response causes a person to suffer less or unnoticeably.
True or false Fever is an important part of the immune response?
true?
What is primary responsibility?
Congress has many responsibilities. The main and primary responsibilities of Congress are making laws for the United States of America.
What occurs during a primary immune response and secondary immune response?
The secondary immune response occurs after an antigen that has already been encountered reappears. For example, if someone had recovered from the flu and later encounters the same strain of that virus, antibodies that were made specifically for that antigen will rise dramatically with almost no lag perod.
What important part of the immune response is delayed and takes at least a few days to occur while many other elements of the immune response occur immediately?
production of antibodies
