    Study Notes

    Innate Immunity

    • Recognizes and responds to pathogens in a non-specific manner
    • Provides immediate defense against infection
    • First line of defense against infection

    Acquired (Adaptive) Immunity

    • Provides long-term immunity and immune memory
    • Recognizes and responds to pathogens in a specific manner
    • Mechanism involves T-cells and B-cells to produce clones of effector cells that induce a specific memory response in the future
    • Distinguishing feature is the ability to produce a specific immune response to specific pathogens
    • Main function is to provide long-term protection against specific pathogens

    Cells Involved in Immunity

    • Neutrophils and macrophages are always available to remove or neutralize the effect of an invader
    • Involved in immediate innate immunity
    • Provide immediate response to infection

    Immunity in Invertebrates

    • Only mechanism for protecting the body against foreign agents is innate immunity
