In the specific immune response, also known as the adaptive immune response, lymphocytes (T cells and B cells) recognize specific antigens presented by pathogens. Upon activation, T cells can differentiate into helper T cells, which aid in activating B cells, or cytotoxic T cells, which kill infected cells. B cells produce antibodies that specifically bind to the antigens, neutralizing pathogens and marking them for destruction. This response also creates memory cells that ensure a faster and more effective response upon future exposure to the same pathogen.
Looking for antigens is part of a specific immune response.
Specific response
Antibodies recognize antigens by binding to specific molecules on their surface. This binding triggers a series of events that activate the immune response, including the production of more antibodies and the recruitment of immune cells to destroy the antigen.

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 specific immune response is a targeted immune response mounted by the body against a particular pathogen. It involves the activation of lymphocytes (T cells and B cells) and the production of specific antibodies to recognize and neutralize the invading pathogen. This response provides long-lasting immunity against future exposures to the same pathogen.
Specific defenses in the immune system include antibodies produced by B cells, which recognize and neutralize specific pathogens. T cells can also destroy infected cells and regulate the immune response. In addition, memory cells are formed after an infection, allowing for a quicker and stronger response upon reinfection.
The immune response is how your body recognizes and defends itself against bacteria, viruses, and substances that appear foreign and harmful.The inflammatory response (inflammation) occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause.
