    The document outlines the main components and mechanisms of the immune response, including the distinction between innate and adaptive immunity, the types of adaptive immunity like humoral and cell-mediated, and the phases and signals involved in activating lymphocytes as part of the adaptive immune response, such as the interaction between T cell receptors/B cell receptors and antigens as well as costimulatory molecules.

    Main components and mechanisms of

    immune response
    Mechanisms of immune defense
    Distinction between innate (non-specific,
    natural) and adaptive (specific) immune
    response
    Humoral and cell-mediated imunity
    Active and passive immunity
    Cardinal features of adaptive immune
    response
    Specificity, memory and self-limitation of
    immune response
    Classes of lymphocytes
    Clonal selection
    Phases of adaptive immune response
    Two signals activate lymphocytes

    Signal 1= TCR (T cell


    receptor) + processed
    antigen (peptide)
    or
    BCR (B cell receptor)
    + native antigen

    Signal 2= costimulatory
    molecules CD28 on lymphocytes
    and B7 on antigen presenting
    cell (APC)
