Chapter 33.9, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
Acquired immune tolerance is the ability of the body to produce antibodies and T-cells against the non-self antigens (like microbial antigens), without responding to self-antigens. Some of these tolerances may develop earlier in embryonic life during the development of normal immune response (immunologic competence).

Here is the options: a) innate immune system. b) adaptive immune system.arrow_forward
- The effector mechanisms that are recruited to clear an infection depend on the infectious agent. In addition to producing distinct innate responses locally at the site of infection, the different cytokines produced during type I, type 2, or type 3 immune responses also induce distinct adaptive immune responses that are tailored to the eradication of the three different classes of pathogens. One example is the production of different classes of antibodies during type I, type 2, or type 3 responses. Which step during the induction of the adaptive immune response is the key to generating and coordinating the three different immune modules?arrow_forwardWhat are the roles of the following cytokines in defense against infections: 1) TNF 2) IL-12 3) Type I Interferonarrow_forwardDescribe the ways in which each of the following pathogens can disarm their host’s immune system or manipulate it to their own advantage:a.
