Non Specific Immune Responses (Chapter 16) First Line of Defense:
... Complement Activation: A. Classical: Antibody-Antigen complex on surface of cell binds and activates C1Æactivates C2 and C4 (splits into fragments a and b)ÆC4b and C1b activate C3 B. Alternative Activation: (does not involve antigen) Proteins B, D, F factors in blood bind to pathogen and activate C3 ...

The specific immune response B and T cells
... •These cells are produced in the bone marrow and then move to the thymus, where they mature. •Each T cell has a specific receptor on its surface, the T cell receptor. This recognises a single SPECIFIC antigen. •In the thymus, T cells are exposed to the body’s antigens and are killed if they react. ...
