Document Summary

Comments: transfer of maternal antibodies across placenta or in breast milk (naturally acquired passive immunity, administration of antibodies (i. e. gamma globulin shot) induced passive immunity, 1. Antigen encounter and recognition by lymphocyte (pre-programed to recognize one specific antigen: 2. Attack: cell-mediated: selected cytotoxic t cells multiplied into effector t cells kill/attack viral infected cells, antibody-mediated: antibodies secreted by activated lymphocytes find antigen and flag/tag bacteria. Antibodies do not kill themselves, attract other mechanisms to kill (such as. For b cells, this step is sometimes called. Immunization can involve injecting a harmless portion of, for example, a viral protein coat or bacterial cell wall protein. (administration of antigen to prevent disease: given antigenic part/epitope of pathogen (virus or bacteria), can induce response. Cytotoxic t cells: directly destroy target cells (viral-infected, cancerous, etc. : they have cd8 receptors, effectors for cell-mediated immunity, amplify and send out to kill viral effected cells, attack infected/transformed cells.
