Type of resistance that is acquired as a result of developing a disease?
Acquired resistance from developing a disease is known as active immunity. This occurs when the body's immune system recognizes a pathogen during infection and generates a specific response to combat it. The immune memory developed during this process helps protect against future encounters with the same pathogen.
What are the key differences between the classical pathway and the alternative pathway in the immune response?
The classical pathway is part of the adaptive immune response and is triggered by specific antibodies binding to pathogens. The alternative pathway is part of the innate immune response and is activated by the presence of foreign substances on the surface of pathogens.
What is the relationship between interferons and interleukins in the immune response?
Interferons and interleukins are both types of signaling proteins that play important roles in the immune response. Interferons are primarily involved in defending against viral infections, while interleukins help regulate the immune system's response to various stimuli. Both types of proteins work together to coordinate and enhance the body's immune response against pathogens.
What is the difference between Interleukin and interferon?
Interleukins are a type of cytokine involved in communication between white blood cells. Interferons are proteins released by cells in response to infections, tumors, or other immune triggers, and they help regulate the immune response. While both are involved in immune function, they have different roles and actions within the immune system.
How are antibodies and antigens related in the immune response?
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens to help neutralize or eliminate them from the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
Explain the difference between innate response and an acquired response?
The innate immune response is the body's immediate, non-specific defense mechanism against infections. It is always ready to respond to invaders. The acquired immune response is specific to a particular pathogen and involves the production of antibodies and memory cells for long-term protection. It takes time to develop but provides a targeted defense against specific pathogens.
What directs the immune response by signaling between the immune systems?
lymphokines
Two blood cells chiefly responsible for the acquired immune response?
Lymphocytes
What is the difference between the first and second line of defense in the immune system?
The difference between the first and second line of defence is that the first line of defence is your physical barrier like your skin and it protects you from most pathogens entering your body and the sweat and oil on your skin prevent some pathogens from growing on your body. the second line of defence is when a pathogen makes it past the first line of defence your body can mount an immune response to the attack and destroy the invader. Whether or not the response succeeds depends very much on your body's ability to distinguish between cells that belong to it and cells that do not.
Similarities between primary and secondary immune response?
Well...
This is the first word in the acronym AIDS?
"AIDS" is the acronym for "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome".
What is the difference between the specific and nonspecific immune response?
Immunity provides protection against specific foreign antigens, displays memory, and it requires distinction between self and non self antigen.
When was Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes created?
Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes was created in 1988.
What are two ways in which active immunity can be acquired?
Active immunity can be acquired through natural exposure to an infectious agent, which triggers the body's immune response to produce antibodies. It can also be acquired through vaccination, where the immune system is exposed to a weakened or inactivated form of the pathogen, leading to the production of antibodies without causing illness.
Is there difference between acquired immune deficiency and auto immune deficiency?
yes there is a difference Auto immunity is where the body attacks and destroys its self such as Lupus, ITP, RA etc. Aquired immunity is where it is developed through exposure to specific microorganisms, toxins, and/or foreign tissues such as AIDS Constance 9-22-12
What happens if donor tissue does not match the recipient's?
The recipient's immune system will detect the difference between the two sets of antigen and start a rejection response to kill the donated tissue.
What are AID's?
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
