A good example of specific immune response would be the actions the body takes when one gets a cold or flu virus. If one gets a flu virus the body will build up antibodies to that strain. It may not guarantee protection from another flu strain but rarely will one get any sicker if they catch the same strain again. The bodys immunities adapt and learn to keep the body safe.
