  1. Group D: Immune system By: Patrick Davis, Brett Moran, Brian Del Rosario, and Curtis Hernandez

  2. Innate Immunity • The innate system involves the recognition of molecules that are conserved in particular pathogens, such as lipopolysaccharide in gram-negative bacteria. • Innate immunity is response to invading pathogens that involves both soluble factors and a variety of different types of blood cells. The Innate response to invading pathogens is based on the recognition of molecules that are characteristic of the pathogen.

  3. Adaptive Immunity • Adaptive immunity is characterized by the genetic rearrangements that generate a diverse set of molecules that can recognize virtually any invading pathogen. • Adaptive immunity can be passive or active. • Adaptive immune system is characterized by Specify of recognition of antigen, Wide diversity of antigens can specifically recognized, memory, whereby the immune system responds more quickly and more intensely to an antigen it encountered previously than to one it is meeting for the first time, and ability to distinguish self-antigens from nonself

  4. Cell Mediated • Cell mediated immunity is when leukocytes (white blood cells) recognize foreign particles and dispose of tem through phagocytosis • Phagocytosis, enveloping something and pretty much digesting it alive.
