What kind of immunity depends upon the production of disease specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria?
humoral immunity
What immunity depends upon the production of disease-specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria.?
humoral immunity
What depends upon the production of the disease specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria?
humoral immunity
Does humoral immunity depends upon the production of disease-specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria?
Yes
What type of immunity produces antibodies?
specific immunity
What are the two components of specific immunity?
Humoral Immunity- acquired immunity in which the role of circulating antibodies is predominant. Natural Immunity- the resistance of the normal animal to infection
Are non specific defence mechanisms more effective than specific defense mechanisms if so why?
Non specific defense mechanisms are more effective because they work against all bacteria and viruses. Examples are skin or tears. Specific defense mechanisms like antibodies work against one type of bacteria or virus. They're needed if a pathogen gets past the nonspecific defense mechanisms.
What type of immunity provides lifetime protection for the body against a specific pathogen?
Active immunity
Process of immunity?
The process of immunity is to produce specific antibodies that bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens. =]
What is major difference between specfic and non specfic immunity?
Specific immunity follows a non-specific response. The major difference between specific and non-specific is the ability to remember pathogenic antigens. Specific immunity results in the production of memory cells which upon reinfection are used to effectivly remove the pathogen Non-specific cannot do this
A type of immunity that defends against specific pathogens and gradually builds up resistance to it?
It is an acquired immunity
