Document Summary

Immunity to one pathogen usually does not confer immunity to others: contrast cellular and humoral immunity, active and passive immunity, and natural and artificial immunity: Cellular (cell-mediated) immunity- lymphocytes that directly attack and destroy foreign cells or diseased host cells. Rids the body of pathogens that reside in the human cells were they are inaccessible to antibodies: intercellular viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and protozoans. Also protects against parasitic worms, cancer cells, and cells of transplanted tissues and organs. Humoral (antibody-mediated) immunity- uses antibodies which don"t destroy a pathogen but tag them for destruction. Effective against extra cellular viruses, bacteria, yeasts, protozoans, and molecular (non-cellular) pathogens such as toxins, venoms, and allergens. Natural active immunity- this is the production of one"s own antibodies or t cells as a result of natural exposure to an antigen. Artificial active immunity- this is the production of one"s own antibodies or t cells as a result of vaccination.
