Now, you have a choice, Option 1 is to finish this presentation and learn about specific defenses of the immune system. If we choose this option, then on Friday we will organize our notebooks and use the textbooks to work on our human body systems projects if we have time. Option 2 is to finish this presentation on Friday and use the rest of this class period to work on our human body systems projects using iPads.

Specific Defenses Specific defenses attack specific pathogens.
Any pathogen that triggers a specific immune response is called an _______. Both ________and ____-__________immunity are specific defenses

Any pathogen that triggers a specific immune response is called an antigen. Both ________and ____-__________immunity are specific defenses

Any pathogen that triggers a specific immune response is called an antigen. Both humoral and ____-__________immunity are specific defenses

Any pathogen that triggers a specific immune response is called an antigen. Both humoral and cell-mediated immunity are specific defenses

Humoral Immunity When a pathogen invades the body, cells in your bloodstream called B-cells recognize the pathogen and start dividing rapidly Plasma cells are B-cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies recognize and bind to specific pathogens. Antibodies act as a signal for other cells of the immune system to destroy the antigen they are attached to (either by killing the cell with antibodies on it or by “eating” the antibody-antigen complex) After an infection, most plasma cells die and stop producing antibodies, but memory B cells remain in your bloodstream. If the same pathogen invades your body again, the memory B cells will start to divide, antibodies will be produced, and you will be able to fight off the pathogen much more quickly than the last time.

Antibody Structure Antibodies are __-shaped. At the ends of the Y, there are identical _______-______ sites that are ________ to only ___ antigen. For example, an antibody to the chicken pox virus would not bind to the polio virus.

Antibody Structure Antibodies are Y-shaped. At the ends of the Y, there are identical _______-______ sites that are ________ to only ___ antigen. For example, an antibody to the chicken pox virus would not bind to the polio virus.
