31.3 Immune Responses
KEY CONCEPT
The immune system has many responses to
pathogens and foreign cells.
31.3 Immune Responses
Two types of responses
# 1 Nonspecific Responses-the same for every pathogen
A. Inflammation
B. blood vessels become leaky.
extracellular
C. white blood cells move
space
toward infection and
damaged tissue
D. characterized by
swelling, redness, and
pain
capillary wall
white blood cell
31.3 Immune Responses
• E. Fever-body temperature increases.
– Low fevers stimulate white blood cells to mature.
– High fevers can cause seizure, brain damage, and even
death.
31.3 Immune Responses
2. Specific Responses
1st detect antigens (surface proteins on pathogens
Each pathogen has a different antigen.
antigens
virus
31.3 Immune Responses
• Two types of specific immune responses.
A. Cellular immunity uses T cells to destroy infected body
cells.
pathogen
antigens

T cell
receptors
memory T cells
activated T cells
31.3 Immune Responses
.
B. Humoral immunity uses B cells to produce antibodies.
B cell
pathogen
antibodies
T cell
memory B cells
activated B cells
31.3 Immune Responses
• Both responses produce memory cells.
B cell
T cell
– specialized T and B cells
– provide acquired (active) immunity
31.3 Immune Responses
The immune system rejects foreign tissues.
• Tissue rejection occurs in organ or tissue transplants.
• Tissue rejection is the result of an immune response.
– immune system detects protein markers on the donor
tissue
– makes antibodies against the donor’s tissue
