Adaptive Immune Response
Adaptive Immune Response
Antigen-specific B- and T-cell responses that can form immunological memory.
Overview
EXPLORE BY LEVELAntigen-specific B- and T-cell responses that can form memory. The response depends on the antigen and the surrounding signals. learns to recognize particular targets. Lymphocytes that can recognize antigens and, after activation, produce antibody-secreting or memory-cell descendants. can make Proteins made by B-cell descendants that bind particular molecular targets. Binding does not by itself prove that an antibody neutralizes its target., and Lymphocytes whose receptors recognize specific peptides displayed by MHC molecules; different T-cell types have different functions. can help coordinate responses or act on infected cells.

Adaptive responses involve antigen processing and presentation, clonal selection, affinity maturation, tolerance, and tissue-specific memory. Vaccination outcomes depend on antigen, route, host, and schedule.
