Question 59
Question
Adaptive immunity refers to antigen-specific immune response and Innate immunity refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms
Question 60
Question
Innate immunity refers to antigen-specific immune response and Adaptive immunity refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms
Question 61
Question
....refers to antigen-specific immune response. The adaptive immune response is more complex than the innate. The antigen first must be processed and recognized. Once an antigen has been recognized, the adaptive immune system creates an army of immune cells specifically designed to attack that antigen. Adaptive immunity also includes a "memory" that makes future responses against a specific antigen more efficient.
Answer
-
Adaptive immunity
-
Innate immunity
Question 62
Question 63

Question 65
Question
The Humoral response:
[blank_start]4.[blank_end] B cells produce memory cells. Memory cells provide future immunity.
[blank_start]1.[blank_end] Antigens bind to B cells.
[blank_start]3.[blank_end] B cells proliferate and produce plasma cells. The plasma cells bear antibodies with the identical antigen specificity as the antigen receptors of the activated B cells. The antibodies are released and circulate through the body, binding to antigens.
[blank_start]2.[blank_end] Interleukins or helper T cells costimulate B cells. In most cases, both an antigen and a costimulator are required to activate a B cell and initiate B cell proliferation.
