Layers of the immune system
Physical and chemical barriers
Innate Immune System
Pattern Recognition Receptors recognise the foregin molecules
Members of the innate immune system
The innate immune system acts on a large range of pathogens with similar molecules present on their surface
The adaptive (humoral) immune system
T and B lymphocytes
The structure of an antibody - what are CDRs and how many per antibody
What are paratopes and epitopes
What does the FC region do
CDR = complementarity determining region. There are 12 per antibody
Paratopes are the binding sequences on the antibody that bind to the epitopes - the target sequence on the foreign particle
The FC region is reponsible for encouraging processes like agglutination. The FC region is diffeent in different animals and is what allows the immune system to recognise your own antibodies
The 5 types of antibodies in humans
The Process of Lymphocyte Activation and “Memory” - Initial
The Process of Lymphocyte Activation and “Memory” - First contact with pathogen
The Process of Lymphocyte Activation and “Memory” - Post replication
The Process of Lymphocyte Activation and “Memory” - Memory cells
