GENBIO 2: Immune System
What triggers an immune respone?
Antigen
What cells produces antibodies?
B cells
What type of immunity is present at birth?
Innate
What do T cells recognize on infected cells?
Antibodies
What cells engulf pathogens?
Phagocytes
What are small proteins that regulate immune responses?
Antigens
________ is the plant's targeted response. Once it identifies a specific invader, it unleashes a precise counterattack, triggered by recognizing the invader's unique weapons.
Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI)
Is an acquired immune system that involves the recognition of traits to certain substance or antigen?
Adaptive Immune System
What molecule helps pathogens stick to surfaces?
Antibody
________ are immune effector cells that participate in cellular defenses such as phagocytosis, encapsulation, and clotting.
T cells
_______ activates when plants detect harmful molecules through receptors, triggering defense responses like signaling pathways, antimicrobial compound production, and gene activation.
Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI)
What is the fluid containing antibodies and other immune factors?
Serum
What term refers to the ability of pathogens to evade the immune system?
Adhesion
_______ are able to interact with the plasma membranes of pathogens and result in the formation of pores.
Adhesins
It is a vital defense mechanism that plants have evolved to protect themselves against pathogens?
