- Adaptive Immunity
- Immune system is made up of two interconnected branches: innate and adaptive immunity
- Slow and specific response to particular pathogens
- Forms immunological memory after infection
- Mediated by lymphocytes, a type of leukocyte (white blood cell)
- Two sub-categories:
- Humoral response (antibodies)
- B-Lymphocytes secrete antibodies that recognize and bind to pathogens to mark them for destruction
- Cell-mediated response (direct attack)
- T-Lymphocytes recognize and directly kill pathogens or coordinate other cells to act against them
- Humoral response (antibodies)
