Explain the features of acquired immunity?❤️⛄
Answers
1. Specificity :- Acquired Immunity is specific micro-organism
2. Diversity :- This system recognise the baat variety kf micro-organism
3. Discrimination between self and non-self :-
It can recognise self (body or tissue) and non self (foreign tissue) and respond according to them
4. Memory :-
When a pathogen enter inside the body takes longer time to recognise and respond to it this is called primary immune response.
Characteristics of Acquired Immunity:
It is the ability to differentiate between various foreign molecules (foreign antigens).
It can recognise a vast variety of foreign molecules (foreign antigens).
It can recognise and respond to foreign molecules (non-self) and can avoid response to those molecules that are present within the body (self) of the animal.
When the immune system encounters a specific foreign agent, (e.g., a microbe) for the first time, it generates immune response and eliminates the invader.
