What is an anarisum?
blood serum containing antibodies against specific antigens; provides immunity to a disease
What is the Differentiate between Humoral mediated immune response and cellular mediated immune response?
The difference between humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity is that humoral immunity uses B cells and T cells whereas mediated immunity only uses the T cells. Also humoral immunity provides a defense against antigens and pathogens in body fluids whereas cell-mediated immunity protects from abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells.
Are antigens and pathogens the same?
Pathogens are the disease causing agent while antigens are found in the antibodies that fight against the pathogens. So in short, no they aren't the same.
What effect do pathogens have on the body?
your body produces antigens to fight against the pathogens and imune you agaist diseases.
A type of immunity that defends against specific pathogens and gradually builds up resistance to it?
It is an acquired immunity
How are passive immunity and active immunity are similar?
They are similar because they both protect the body and fight against pathogens.
Why is an antigen important?
Antigens are important because they trigger responses to pathogens by the immune system. Without them, no prevention against pathogens would take place.
What type of immunity is a lifetime protection in the body against specific pathogens?
active imminity
What type of immunity provides lifetime protection for the body against a specific pathogen?
Active immunity
What do you exhibit when B cells encounter antigens and produce antibodies against them?
You exhibit Active Immunity when cells encounter anitgens and produce antibodies against them.
What body's continuing immune response and defense against pathogens it has seen before is known?
Active immunity
What process provides many b cells and t cells that are activated against specific antigens?
Clonal expansion is the process that provides many B cells and T cells that are activated against specific antigens. Clonal expansion is what provides the immune system its strength.
