Question

In this module we have learned about the adaptive immune response. This systems used a special class of white blood cells known as lymphocytes to attack specific target antigens that the body has seen in the past. This involves B-cells, T-helper cells and T-killer cells. It is these pathways that are disrupted in AIDS.

For this discussion, choose one example of adaptive immunity to focus on. Choose one aspect that was particularly interesting to you. Do some research to find out a little more about it. Here is a list of examples, but you can think of other ones as well: the primary immune response (3 paragraphs in own words )

Explanation / Answer

Answer- Immune response- It is the response of our immune system against foreign or self antigen by activating B and Tvlymphocyte. Immune response is of two type Innate and acquired .Innate immunity present by birth but acquired immunity is adapted in life time. Innate is non specific, and same for all antigen but adaptive is more specific and memory cell formation occur here. Adaptive immunity comprises B lymphocyte, T lymphocyte . B lymphocyte functions by making antibody against antigen. There are five 5 types of antibody synthesized. T lypmphocte have T4 and T8 cells . T4 cells are helper cells which activate both B and T lymphocyte while T8 cells are cytotoxic cell. In AIDS T helper cells are destroyed as a result less efficient activation of B and T lymphocyte takes place so various other infection occurs in AIDS patient because of low immunity.like tuberculosis, and other.
