Study Notes

Immunity Overview

Cell-mediated and humoral immunity can be compared and contrasted
Central tolerance and peripheral tolerance are crucial for immune system function

Immune Response

Primary response and secondary response can be defined and differentiated
Antibody-antigen binding leads to protective outcomes
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in immunity

Clonal Selection and Expansion

The process of clonal selection and expansion can be outlined
T-cell receptors (TCRs), MHC molecules, and CD markers are essential components

T Cell Activation

Dendritic cells activate T cells
Tε and Tч cells can be compared and contrasted in terms of antigen recognition
Tε cells activate B cells

Immunoglobulins

There are five classes of immunoglobulins that can be compared and contrasted

NK Cells

NK cells have two distinct protective roles in the immune system
