Principle mechanisms of
innate and adaptive immunity
Mechanisms of adaptive immunity
- acquired throughout a lifetime of an individual
- result of previous contact with pathogen
- present in vertebrates
Properties of adaptive immunity
- diversity and specificity
- memory
- clonal expansion
- specialization
- autotolerance
- stimulation of mechanisms of innate immunity
Types of adaptive immunity
