Chapter 45, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Immune response is a set of responsive mechanisms carried out by the immune system of the body to fight and defend against invading antigens (bacteria, viruses, or any other foreign substances) by producing antibody molecules. The immune response produced by humoral immunity can be classified into: primary and secondary immune response.

Once the antigen presenting cell delivers the message about the identity of the specific pathogen to the adaptive immune system, what is the mechanism of lymphocyte activation to make sure lymphocytes target that specific pathogen or toxin (Specificity)?
Why does this process create a slow response during the first exposure of a pathogen?
If a series of genetic mutations prevented some, but not all, of the complement proteins from binding antibodies or pathogens, would the entire complement system be compromised?
What is innate immunity? List the four types of barriers which protect the body from the entry of the foreign agents.
