Lymphocytes
The innate immune response is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and is non-specific, meaning it does not target specific pathogens. It includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells like macrophages and natural killer cells. The acquired immune response is more specialized and involves the activation of immune cells such as T and B lymphocytes that target specific pathogens based on memory from past exposures.
The innate immune response is the body's immediate, non-specific defense mechanism against infections. It is always ready to respond to invaders. The acquired immune response is specific to a particular pathogen and involves the production of antibodies and memory cells for long-term protection. It takes time to develop but provides a targeted defense against specific pathogens.
Immune System
An immune response
"AIDS" is the acronym for "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome".
The acquired immune response helps provide long-lasting protection against specific pathogens through the activation of lymphocytes, including B cells and T cells. B cells produce antibodies that neutralize pathogens and mark them for destruction, while T cells help kill infected cells and coordinate the immune response. This tailored response not only clears infections but also establishes immunological memory, allowing for a quicker and more effective response upon re-exposure to the same pathogen.
Active immunity can be acquired through natural exposure to an infectious agent, which triggers the body's immune response to produce antibodies. It can also be acquired through vaccination, where the immune system is exposed to a weakened or inactivated form of the pathogen, leading to the production of antibodies without causing illness.
Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes was created in 1988.
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
AIDs - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Naturally acquired active immunity is the type of resistance that is acquired from developing a disease. Naturally acquired active immunity leaves the person immune from developing the disease again in the future.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
