What else can I help you with?
What does it mean to say that the adaptive immune response has memory and how does this memory contribute to the immune system's ability to recognize and respond to specific pathogens upon re-exposure?
The adaptive immune response has memory, which means it can remember specific pathogens it has encountered before. This memory allows the immune system to recognize and respond more quickly and effectively to the same pathogen upon re-exposure. This helps the body to mount a faster and stronger immune response, leading to a quicker recovery from the infection.
What does nonimmunogenic mean?
Since immunogenic means 'Capable of inducing an immune response; antigenic.' I would suggest that nonimmunogenic would mean that an immune response would not be induced.
What distinguishes the secondary immune response from the primary immune response?
the secondary immune response is faster and stronger than the first. the primary response also takes a few days to react with the antigen whereas the secondary immune response reacts faster to an antigen.
What does it mean to say that the adaptive immune response has "memory"?
When we say the adaptive immune response has "memory," it means that the immune system can remember specific pathogens it has encountered before. This allows the immune system to respond more quickly and effectively if the same pathogen enters the body again in the future.
How do humans develop active immunity by articial and natural means?
Humans can develop active immunity naturally through exposure to a pathogen, which triggers an immune response and the production of antibodies. Artificially, active immunity can be induced through vaccination by administering weakened or inactivated forms of a pathogen, prompting the immune system to produce memory cells for future protection against that specific pathogen.
What does Active immunity means?
the immunity that results from the production of antibodies by the immune system in response to the presence of an antigen.
What does not protect against invaders in the nonspecific immune response?
The nonspecific immune response, also known as the innate immune response, does not involve the production of antibodies or specific lymphocytes that target particular pathogens. Instead, it relies on general defense mechanisms such as physical barriers (like skin), phagocytic cells, and inflammatory responses. Therefore, the absence of specificity means it does not provide tailored protection against specific invaders, which is the role of the adaptive immune response.
What does suffix immune mean?
Immune as immunity means to be free of the disease.
How does the immune response to viruses differ from the immune response to bacteria?
It happens as our body do not have anti-bodies [ means the copy of the virus to make a trap for it ], but in bacterial it is done just by destroying as the bacteria do not conquer a tissue or a cell to make their army.
Plasticity means what?
Plasticity means the ability to be shaped and molded.
What is vaccine potency?
Vaccine potency refers to the strength or effectiveness of a vaccine in eliciting an immune response. It indicates how well the vaccine can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies or activate immune cells to protect against a specific pathogen. Potency is crucial for ensuring that vaccines provide adequate protection and is often assessed during development and quality control processes. Higher potency usually means a lower dose may be required to achieve the desired immune response.
Can you use the adjective 'immune' followed by against or is it always has to be followed by to?
Immune takes the preposition to when it means unsusceptible to an illness, and from when it means exempt. For example we say immune to measles, and immune from prosecution.
