  1. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity Starter What are the three ways the white blood cells protect against disease? 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  2. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity Antigens • Every cell has proteins on its surface known as antigens. The antigens on microorganisms that get into your body are different to those on your own cells. • This means that your immune system recognises microorganisms as being foreign. 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  3. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity White Blood Cell 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? ATTACK!!! An invading Pathogen One of Your Body Cells 3. What are antigens and antibodies? Antigens

  4. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity Antibodies • White blood cells make antibodies which join onto antigens and help to destroy the pathogens. 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? It takes time for me to make the antibodies to destroy the pathogen. Whilst I work hard, the pathogen is releasing toxins to make you ill. 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  5. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity Antibodies • The white blood cells remember the right antibody to tackle a specific pathogen, so they can get made again very quickly if you become re-infected. • This is how you become immune. 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? I have a great memory! 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  6. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity Task 1: Answer the following questions in full sentences • What is an antigen? • What is an antibody? • Why do you become ill the first time you encounter a pathogen? • Why do you not get ill the second time you encounter a pathogen? 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  7. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity What is vaccination? • Also known as immunisation, the process involves injecting a patient with a vaccine, so that they gain immunity against a particular disease 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  8. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity What is a vaccine? • A vaccine is usually a dead or weakened form of the disease causing micro-organism. 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  9. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity How does it work? 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? 3. What are antigens and antibodies?

  10. This is how vaccines protect you against dangerous infectious diseases

  12. 1. How does your immune system work? Immunity Task 2: Rewrite in the correct order, drawing a diagram for each one. (a) White blood cells have a type of memory. (b)Small amounts of dead or inactive pathogen are injected into the body. (c) If you encounter a live version of the pathogen, your white blood cells rapidly make antibodies to destroy it. (d) The antigens in the vaccine stimulate the white blood cell to make antibodies. (e) You are therefore immune. 2. How does vaccination protect you against disease? 3.

Immunity Plenary • Create a 3x3 bingo grid. • Fill each square with one of these key words: Antigen, Antibody, White Blood Cell, Pathogen, Vaccine, Immunisation, Toxin, Bacteria, Virus 2.
