2. Specific Defense (pg 8)
• Third line of defense
• Results in immunity

3. Specific Defense (pg 8)
• Third line of defense
• Results in immunity
Characteristics:
1. Specific: recognizes and acts against
particular pathogens

4. Specific Defense (pg 8)
• Third line of defense
• Results in immunity
Characteristics:
1. Specific: recognizes and acts against
particular pathogens
2. Systemic: immunity is not restricted to the
initial infection site

5. Specific Defense (pg 8)
• Third line of defense
• Results in immunity
• Characteristics:
1. Specific: recognizes and acts against
particular pathogens
2. Systemic: immunity is not restricted to the
initial infection site
3. Memory: Mounts an even stronger attack on
pathogens that have been previously
encountered

6. Definitions
• Antigen: molecules that are recognized as
foreign by the body. Bacteria and other
pathogens bear such foreign molecules on
the surface of their cells.

7. Definitions
• Antigen: molecules that are recognized as
foreign by the body. Bacteria and other
pathogens bear such foreign molecules on
the surface of their cells.
• Antibody: Y-shaped proteins produced by
the body. Each antibody attacks only one
particular antigen and disables it. “Predator
drones”

8. Types of Lymphocytes
• All lymphocytes are made in the bone
marrow, but they go to different places to
become immunocompetent (capable of
responding to a specific antigen)

9. Types of Lymphocytes
• All lymphocytes are made in the bone
marrow, but they go to different places to
become immunocompetent (capable of
responding to a specific antigen)
• T-lymphocytes (70%): mature in the thymus.
Involved in cell-mediated immunity, where t-
lymphocytes directly attack antigens. Most
effective against virus-infected cells, cancer
cells, foreign tissue, fungi, protozoans

10. Types of Lymphocytes
• T-lymphocytes (70%): mature in the thymus.
Involved in cell-mediated immunity, where t-
lymphocytes directly attack antigens. Most
effective against virus-infected cells, cancer
cells, foreign tissue, fungi, protozoans
• B-lymphocytes (30%): mature in the bone
marrow. Involved in antibody-mediated
immunity. B-lymphocytes don’t attack
directly, but produce antibodies that bind to
the antigen and inactivate it. Most effective
against bacteria, viruses outside of cells, and
toxins

immunity diagrams

12. Acquired Immunity (pg 10)

13. Acquired Immunity (pg 10)
• Active: Individual’s own body produces
memory T-cells and B-cells

14. Acquired Immunity (pg 10)
• Active: Individual’s own body produces
memory T-cells and B-cells
• Passive: Immune agents are made in someone
else’s body and then transferred to the
individual

15. Acquired Immunity (pg 10)
1. Active natural: Contract a disease and
produce memory cells

16. Acquired Immunity (pg 10)
1. Active natural: Contract a disease and
produce memory cells
2. Active artificial: receive a vaccination and
produce memory cells

17. Acquired Immunity (pg 10)
1. Active natural: Contract a disease and
produce memory cells
2. Active artificial: receive a vaccination and
produce memory cells
3. Passive natural: baby receive maternal
antibodies through placenta or breast milk

18. Acquired Immunity (pg 10)
1. Active natural: Contract a disease and
produce memory cells
2. Active artificial: receive a vaccination and
produce memory cells
3. Passive natural: baby receive maternal
antibodies through placenta or breast milk
4. Passive artificial: receive antiserum that
contains antibodies produced in another
host. Used to treat rabies, botulism, bites
from venomous snakes and spiders
