Study Notes
Immune Response Types
- Adaptive immune response responds in essentially the same way to repeat encounters with a microbe.
- PAMPs stands for Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns.
- Innate immune response recognizes and responds to a limited number of microbial structures.
- Adaptive immune response mounts stronger, more rapid, and thus more effective responses on successive encounters with a microbe.
- Innate immune response has more different types of invariant receptors.
- The function of PAMPs is to induce an immune response by recognizing and binding to specific receptors on immune cells.
Test your knowledge of the two principal types of reactions of the immune system, including inflammation, antiviral defense, and antigen recognition. Explore the differences between the innate and adaptive immune responses and their roles in combating microbes.
