Chapter 41.3, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The adaptive immune response of the body when the common cold virus enters through the nose.
Introduction:
Adaptive immune responses can be of two types—the humoral immune response, in which the antibodies are produced, and the cell-mediated immune response, in which the infected cells are destroyed. These immune responses take place simultaneously and in a coordinated manner.

- Johnny has just been infected and needs your help in letting him know how his body is fighting the infection. To do so, describe how the innate and adaptive immune systems work together. You should address the following: 1. define adaptive and innate immunity; 2. Describe the role of natural killer cells (how do they work); 3. what are antigen presenting cells and what is their function, what are MHCs?; 4. describe the role of the complement system; 5. what is the role of interferons?; 6. How do helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells and B lymphocytes work make sure you address adaptive immunity memory?; 7. Define HIV, which cells do they attack and why do some individuals develop persistent lymphadenopathy (swollen or enlarged lymph nodes)?arrow_forwardCan anyone get a disease even if the secondary immune response is triggered? (i.e.: is it possible for someone to contract a disease, even if they received the immunization?) Explain your answer. Would that mean that it’s better not to take the risk and avoid immunization altogether?arrow_forwardInflammation--redness, heat, pain, and swelling--is caused by the release of histamines and other signaling chemicals that are part of a response of the innate immune system.
