What is the difference between the specific and nonspecific immune response?
Immunity provides protection against specific foreign antigens, displays memory, and it requires distinction between self and non self antigen.
Are antibodies nonspecific?
Antibodies are non specific! That is why antibody testing does not signify anything specific except that an immune response is on progress. Processed flour will give you an immune response and show elevated liver enzymes that are typical during times of infection
What part of the immune system is a specific defense system?
The human immune system can be separated into three "lines of defense" 1) Tthe first line includes physical barriers-primarily the skin, and biochemical barriers-mucous, sweat, stomach acids, wax, oil ect. This is considered a non-specific response because the response is not different for different pathogens. 2) The second line includes the inflammatory response, natural killer cells, macrophages, and fever. This level of defense is also considered non-specific. 3) The third line includes the two specific defenses-your humoral or antibody mediated immune response and your cell mediated immune response. In both cases your body is responding to a particular antigen or infectious agent.
What is major difference between specfic and non specfic immunity?
Specific immunity follows a non-specific response. The major difference between specific and non-specific is the ability to remember pathogenic antigens. Specific immunity results in the production of memory cells which upon reinfection are used to effectivly remove the pathogen Non-specific cannot do this
What is innate stimulus?
An innate stimulus is a type of stimulus that triggers a natural, automatic response in an organism without the need for prior learning or experience. These responses are typically genetically programmed and can vary among different species.
