Differentiate humoral immunity from cellular immunity and the basic roles of B cells and T cells in those systems. Discuss the concept of a clonal immunological response to an epitope. Define antigen presentation and antigen-presenting cell. Describe what makes one antigen more immunogenic than another. Diagram the structures of antibodies and discuss their functions. Explain the differences between primary and secondary antibody responses. Summarize how the immune system generates vast antibody diversity. Describe the role of memory B cells during an antibody response. Explain the two major types of T cells.
