Immunology Kuby chapter 1Active immunity - ANS-The individual alone produces antibodies against an antigen.
Active immunity is slow and takes time to give its full effective response. Usually active
immunity is long lasting. Sometimes active immunity develops naturally when infectious
organisms gain access into body during natural infection.
Adaptive immunity - ANS-refers to antigen-specific immune response. The adaptive
immune response is more complex than the innate. The antigen first must be processed
and recognized. Once an antigen has been recognized, the adaptive immune system
creates an army of immune cells specifically designed to attack that antigen. Adaptive
immunity also includes a "memory" that makes future responses against a specific
antigen more efficient.
