Adaptive Immunity: Specific Defenses of the Host

Description

Part I Compare and contrast cellular and humoral immunity.   You must give at least 5 similarities and 5 differences.  Think about the types of cells involved, where they are derived from, the function of each type of immunity, the chemical messengers needed, the types of receptors, how each immunity is activated, does each work independently or do they work with other systems, cells, molecules? Part II What would happen if a person was born without humoral immunity?  What if a person was born without cellular immunity?  Why is HIV such a devastating disease of the immune system? Explain these questions in terms of effects on the person’s immunity and disease/infections.  Use specific aspects of each immunity to answer these questions such as cells and molecules affected
