Document Summary

Types of adaptive resistance: humoral = antibody-mediated immunity. Acts against abnormal cells or cells with specific intracellular pathogens. There are two types of adaptive immunity: humoral, also called antibody-mediated, immunity and cell-mediated immunity. Humoral immunity involves the production of specific antibodies against extracellular antigens. Cell-mediated immunity is accomplished by t cell lymphocytes that act against abnormal cells or cells infected by specific intracellular pathogens. Adaptive immune system cells: b cell & t cell lymphocytes. Become immunocompetent in primary lymphoid organs; positive & negative selection. Move to secondary lymphoid tissue: antigen-presenting cells (apcs; cells of innate resistance) Adaptive immunity is based on the function of t and b cell lymphocytes. These cells are initially formed from hemocytoblasts in red bone marrow. They mature and become immunocompetent in primary lymphoid organs red bone marrow (b cells) or the thymus (t cells) where their populations undergo positive and negative selection. After the mature they move to secondary lymphatic tissue.
