About Specific Defense Mechanism

Specific defense mechanisms provide targeted immunity through B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, antibodies and memory cells that recognize particular antigens. Questions cover humoral and cell mediated responses, clonal selection, primary and secondary immune responses, vaccination and passive immunity, while distinguishing adaptive defenses from the immediate, non specific innate response.
