Question
Chapter 16, Problem 11CT
Summary Introduction
To explain:
That both the methods of complement system activation namely non-specific second line defense and antibody immune system response in third line of defense are correct.
Introduction:
Complement system activates a set of proteins which are involved in the formation of a membrane attack complex. It includes a family of convertase proteins which form a pore in the membrane of cells leading to their death by apoptosis.

Students have asked these similar questions
Acquired or adaptive immunity can be divided in to Natural Active, Natural Passive, Artificial Active, and Artificial Passive Immunity. Which types will lead to long lasting immune protection? Which will provide short term protection?
Two students are studying for an exam on the body’s defense systems. One of them insists that complement is part of the nonspecific second line of defense, but the partner insists that complement is part of an antibody immune response in the third line of defense. How would you explain to them that they are both correct?
An individual is infected with a particular pathogen that he had before. This results in the generation of an immune response.a) List the name of the type of immune response that may be generated. b) Outline and briefly differentiate three characteristics of this type of immune response.

- Neutralizing antibodies are effective at preventing infection or toxicity mediated by pathogens or their toxic products. In fact, nearly all vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. One example is the tetanus vaccine, in which neutralizing antibodies are generated against an inactivated form of the tetanus toxin (the tetanus toxoid). The most important feature of a neutralizing antibody is having high affinity for the antigen. being efficient at activating the complement cascade. having a high degree of multivalency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers. being present at a high concentration in the circulation. 0 0 0 0arrow_forwardAn individual is infected with a particular pathogen that he had before.
