Question

Although the ability to generate immune responses is conserved throughout evolution, adaptive immunity is only found in the vertebrate lineage (thus far). a. What are two immune cell-types that are important in adaptive immunity? b. What host-derived molecules are important for inducing and maintaining an adaptive immune response?

Explanation / Answer

a. Two immune cell types of important in adaptive immunity:

Humoral immunity- mediated by antibodies produced by B

lymphocytes, and

Cell-mediated immunity- which is mediated by T

Lymphocytes. It does not involve antibodies but rather

Involves activation of phagocytes.

b. Pathogen associated molecular patterns activate immune

Respomse protecting the host from infection, by identifying

Some conserved nonself molecules.

Bacterial liposacharides, endotoxin found on cell

Membranes of gram negative bacteria considered as

Protypical class of PAMPs.
