enable the immune system to identify: pathogens, cells from other organisms of the same species, abnorm
system(spec.)
body cells, toxins.
• Definition of antigen. The effect of antigen variability on disease and disease prevention.

• The role of antigen-presenting cells in the cellular response.

• The role of helper T cells (TH cells) in stimulating cytotoxic T cells (TC cells), B cells and phagocytes. The r
other T cells is not required.
• The response of B lymphocytes to a foreign antigen, clonal selection and the release of monoclonal antib
(the humoral response).
• Definition of antibody. Antibody structure.
• The formation of an antigen-antibody complex, leading to the destruction of the antigen, limited to
agglutination and phagocytosis of bacterial cells.
• The roles of plasma cells and of memory cells in producing primary and secondary immune responses.
• The use of vaccines to provide protection for individuals and populations against disease. The concept of
