The fact that the body does not normally mount an immune response to the molecules in food is an example of _______ . a. secondary immune response b. immunological memory c. immune tolerance d. passive immunity

The Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Compare the general inflammatory response, the complement system, and the specific immune response.

The Complement System Kills Microorganisms The complement system supplements the inflammatory response by directly killing microorganisms. Describe the life cycle of complement proteins, from their synthesis in the liver to their activity at the site of an infection.

The Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Identify the components of cellular immunity, and define their roles in the immune response.

The Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Name the class of molecules that includes antibodies, and name the five groups that make up this class.

Why is the immune response after reinfection much faster than the adaptive immune response after the initial infection?

Which type of hypersensitivity involves soluble antigen-antibody complexes? type I type II type III type IV
