Study Notes
-
Aureus bacterium triggers an immune response through recognition of conserved structures on many pathogens but not on self
-
Innate immunity initiates inflammatory responses to remove or contain pathogens and help in tissue repair
-
Adaptive immunity is a specific, targeted response that gets better with each encounter and provides memory for next encounter
-
Adaptive immunity can be divided into three types: humoral, cell-mediated, and mucosal
-
Humoral immunity involves the production of antibodies to protect against extracellular pathogens and products
-
Cell-mediated immunity protects against intracellular pathogens and is carried out by specialized T cells
-
Mucosal immunity protects against pathogens at the interface with mucosal tissues or within mucosal tissues and makes up most of our adaptive immune responses
-
Lymphocytes, leukocytes, and antigen-presenting cells are key cellular components of adaptive immunity
-
Adaptive immune responses involve interactions between the innate and adaptive immune branches, with each branch affecting the other
-
Innate immunity regulates adaptive immunity through complement proteins and cytokines, while adaptive immunity regulates innate immunity through T cells and antibodies
-
Innate immunity is non-specific and always on, relying on chemical and cellular barriers, while adaptive immunity is specific and requires activation and memory.
