An immune response pertains to any of the body’s response to a foreign substance, such as an antigen. (Ref. 1) The response intends to protect the body from disease-causing viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites. A transplanted organ may also incite an immune response when it is identifi...
21. The Immune System Topic summary Created using AI The innate immune response is the body's first line of defense against pathogens, comprising three main components: chemical and physical barriers,cellintrinsic responses, and phagocytic cells. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are recog...
Inflammatory response: A nonspecific immune response that causes the release of histamine into an area of injury; also prompts blood flow and immune cell activity at injured sites. Lymphocyte: White blood cell. Memory cell: The T and B cells that remain behind after a primary immune response...
Of course, there are numerous factors that impact the effectiveness of the immune system’s response. The person’s physical health, their diet, in addition to the number and potency of the viral cells, just to name a few. However, the response will still occur and that is what makes it...
Different Types of Pathogens What Are Antigens? Antigen vs. Antibody Immune Response: Immunocompromised Different Types of Antigens Antigen vs. Pathogen Lesson Summary Frequently Asked Questions What exactly is a pathogen? A pathogen is an organism that can cause disease. There are five main types...
This may be a molecule on the surface of a pathogen or a substance such as a protein, lipid, polysaccharide, or nucleic acid. When a pathogen enters the body, its antigen is detected as foreign. This stimulates an immune response. The picture below shows an antigen. Notice the distinct ...
The compounds inhibited both the humoral and cellular immune response and was effective not only upon administration but also when given orally, indicating good bioaccessibility and a potential therapeutic application. Other studies revealed the lack of toxicity of the compound even at very high doses...

Hi. In this video, I'm going to be talking about B cell development. So B cells, they're a part of the adaptive immune response, and they're super important because they are the cells that produce the antibodies for our body. Now we're familiar a little bit with antibodies. We've...
