Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of the adaptive immune response: It is a specific defense mechanism that targets particular pathogens and involves the activation of lymphocytes.
Identify the types of lymphocytes involved in the adaptive immune response: B cells and T cells are the primary components.
Learn the role of B cells: B cells are responsible for producing antibodies that bind to antigens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells.
Learn the role of T cells: T cells help in directly killing infected host cells, activating other immune cells, and regulating the immune response.
Differentiate between the adaptive and innate immune responses: The adaptive immune response is specific and has memory, while the innate immune response is non-specific and immediate.
