      • The adaptive immune system, also known as the specific immune system, is composed of highly-specialized systemic cells and processes that eliminate or prevent pathogenic growth. The adaptive immune system works to protect and heal the body when the innate immune system fails.

  2. Unlike the innate immune system, the adaptive immune system relies on fewer types of cells to carry out its tasks: B cells and T cells. Both B cells and T cells are lymphocytes that are derived from specific types of stem cells, called multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, in the bone marrow.

  3. What ways of evading the human adaptive immune system evolved in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)? Describe two ways in which B cells and T cells work together to generate adaptive immune responses.

  4. Aug 31, 2023 · Immune reactions are typically dominated by five primary types: T H 1 cells, T H 2 cells, T H 17 cells, T reg cells, and T FH cells. 1. CD4 T H 1 cells: Coordinate immunity against intracellular bacteria and promote opsonization.

  5. The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system, or specific immune system is a subsystem of the immune system that is composed of specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth. The acquired immune system is one of the two main immunity strategies found in vertebrates (the other ...

  6. The function of adaptive immune responses is to destroy invading pathogens and any toxic molecules they produce. Because these responses are destructive, it is crucial that they be made only in response to molecules that are foreign to the host and not to the molecules of the host itself.
