ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
LATEST UPDATE
immunogenic
most antigens are ____ and elicit an immune response
antigen
a molecule found on the outer surfaces of cells that the immune system recognizes as either part of the
body or an outside invader; can react with antibodies or receptors on B and T cells
paratope
the antigen-binding site on the antibody or lymphocyte receptor
adaptive immunity
the ability to recognize and remember foreign "non-self" substances and mount an attack on them
clonal diversity
maturation of B and T lymphocytes that occurs in primary lymphoid organs
clonal selection
, the process by which an antigen selectively binds to and activates only those lymphocytes bearing
receptors specific for the antigen. The selected lymphocytes proliferate and differentiate into a clone of
effector cells and a clone of memory cells specific for the stimulating antigen.
humoral immunity
B cell produce antibodies to provide specific immunity when organism re-enters system; primarily
protect against bacteria and viruses
cellular immunity
T cells directly destroy targets or stimulate activity to other leukocytes; primarily protects against viruses
and cancer
B cells
what cells produce antibodies
lymphocytes
The two types of white blood cells that are part of the body's immune system: B lymphocytes and T
lymphocytes
thymus
where are T cells formed
bone marrow
where are B cells formed
plasma cells
B cells develop into _____ to become factories for the production of antibodes
