Study Notes

Adaptive Immunity

  • Cells involved in adaptive immunity have specialized receptors that bind to clusters of molecules on the surface of foreign cells, known as epitopes.

B Lymphocytes (B Cells)

  • B cells are a group of adaptive immune cells that secrete their receptors in large amounts.
  • The secreted receptors are called Antibodies.

Antigens and Epitopes

  • A foreign invader is known as an Antigen.
  • An Epitope is a specific area on the Antigen that binds to an Antibody.
