🧪Memory cells help the immune system respond quickly to familiar pathogens.
⚖️Tolerance to self-antigens prevents autoimmune disorders.
💉Understanding acquired immunity is essential for developing effective vaccines.
What is acquired immunity?
—Acquired immunity is the ability of the immune system to recognize and respond to specific pathogens.
What are B cells and T cells?
—B cells produce antibodies, while T cells trigger immune responses and destroy infected cells.
What are memory cells?
—Memory cells help the immune system respond quickly to familiar pathogens.
Why is tolerance to self-antigens important?
—Tolerance to self-antigens prevents the immune system from attacking our own cells and causing autoimmune disorders.
How does understanding acquired immunity help in vaccine development?
—Understanding acquired immunity is crucial in developing effective vaccines that stimulate an immune response against specific pathogens.
