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.
