Study Notes
Adaptive Immune Response
- The adaptive immune response is specific, it focuses on a specific antigen and remembers it
- It has two main mechanisms: the Humoral Immune Response and the Cell-Mediated Immune Response
- The adaptive immune response distinguishes self from non-self, meaning it targets only foreign substances
- The adaptive immune response has memory: upon re-exposure to the same antigen, the response is faster and lasts longer
- B lymphocytes create immunoglobulins which bind to antigens in the Humoral Immune Response
- T lymphocytes recognize and bind to antigens in the Cell-Mediated Immune Response

Description
Test your knowledge on the adaptive immune response and its mechanisms. This quiz covers key concepts like the Humoral and Cell-Mediated Immune Responses, memory in immunology, and the roles of B and T lymphocytes. Challenge yourself to understand how the immune system distinguishes between self and non-self.
