Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory T Cells Characteristics of the Specific Immune Response • It recognizes and targets “specific” pathogens or foreign substances. • It has a “memory,” the capacity to store information from past exposures to respond more quickly to future invasions of the same pathogen. • It protects the entire body, the immunity is NOT linked to the site of infection. Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory T Cells Antigen • A protein on a foreign object that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies • A virus, bacteria, toxin, ... That trigger the immune response Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory T Cells Antibodies Antibodies: proteins that recognize and bind to antigens. Figure 9.7 Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory T Cells Antibodies bind specific antigens Antibody-Antigen Complex • Antibodies bind to antigens • Pathogens clump together or agglutinate • White Blood Cells (Macrophage) phagocite the antibody-antigen complex Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory T Cells B Lymphocyte or B cells Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory T Cells Antibody mediated immunity Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory Cells Antibody mediated immunity Objective: Learn the Antibody Response of the Immunity System Key words: antibodies, antigen, pathogen, antibody, B Cells, Memory T Cells Antibody mediated immunity • B Lymphocytes mature in bone marrow. • B Lymphocytes or B cells are responsible for the antibodymediated immunity. They produce antibodies when exposed to specific antigens. • T Lymphocytes mature in the thymus gland. • T Cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity.
