Study Notes
Immunity Types
- Innate immunity is involved in activating adaptive immunity, as it provides the initial response to pathogens and alerts the adaptive immune system to respond.
Complement Activation
- Activation of the complement system triggers a cascade of biological effects, including inflammation, opsonization, and cytolysis, ultimately leading to the elimination of pathogens.
Passive Immunity
- Passive immunity involves the use of monoclonal antibodies to enhance immunity, providing immediate protection against specific pathogens.
Primary vs. Secondary Immune Response
- The primary difference between primary and secondary immune responses is the speed and magnitude of the response, with secondary responses being faster and more robust due to the presence of immunological memory.
Adaptive Immune System
- B cells, a type of lymphocyte, are the component of the adaptive immune system associated with antibody production, generating antibodies that recognize and bind to specific pathogens.
