- More Information: Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins, abbreviated Ig) are gamma globulin proteins that are found in blood or other bodily fluids of vertebrates, and are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses.he main non-specific defenses consist of: Lysozymes-such as teardrops which attack bacterial cell walls causing the cell to burst or lyse. Ciliated Epithelia-which are hairlike fibers that can catch pathogens and dispose of them.

Nonspecific Mechanisms of Defense The body possesses many mechanisms that impart nonspecific defense. The objectives of these mechanisms are to prevent microorganisms from gaining a foothold in the body and to destroy them if they penetrate to the deeper tissues. Mechanical barriers. Mechanical barriers at the portal of entry represent the first line of defense for the body.

Nonspecific Defense Whereas only vertebrates have specific immune responses, all animals have some type of nonspecific defense. Examples of nonspecific defenses include physical barriers, protein defenses, cellular defenses, inflammation, and fever.acrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils are examples of phagocytes. In their attempt to defend the body, some phagocytes stay within a tissue and others travel freely throughout the body. However, all phagocytes are attracted to sites of tissue damage.

Adaptive Immunity The antibody responses are also called humoral immunity. Cell-mediated immunity does not involve antibodies but rather involves the activation of macrophages, natural killer cells (NK), antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.

The immune system and the antibody response The adaptive immune system. The adaptive immune system is activated when the innate system fails to clear pathogens from the body. It consists of a variety of cells and molecules, among which lymphocytes and antibodies are the key elements.Lymphocytes arise continuously from progenitor cells in the bone marrow.he components of the innate immune system provide a first line of defense against infection. Physical barriers to infection include skin, which prevents pathogen penetration, and bodily fluids like mucus, which collect and clear pathogens.

Difference Between Innate and Adaptive Immunity The innate immune system is also known as the nonspecific immune system, which provides the first line of immunological defense against infection. The molecules and the receptors of the immune system provide a broad range of protection, so that it is also referred to as ‘natural immunity’.

- Antibodies contribute to immunity in three main ways: they can prevent pathogens from entering or damaging cells by binding to them; they can stimulate removal of a pathogen by macrophages and other cells by coating the pathogen; and they can trigger direct pathogen destruction by stimulating other immune responses such as the complement pathway.

Adaptive immune defenses: Antibodies Antibodies are large proteins produced by vertebrates that play important roles in identifying and eliminating foreign objects. The basic structural unit is composed of two heavy chains and two light chains, as shown in this diagram. Antibodies bind other molecules known as antigens. Binding occurs in a small region near the ends of the heavy and light chain called the hypervariable region (labeled only on one arm in the figure). As the name implies, this region is extremely variable, which is why vertebrates can produce millions of antibodies that can bind many different antigens. The part of the antigen that is recognized by the antibody is known as an epitope.

Immunoglobulin A Immune exclusion is a process of agglutinating polyvalent antigens or pathogens by crosslinking them with antibody, trapping them in the mucus layer, and/or clearing them peristaltically. The oligosaccharide chains of the component of IgA can associate with the mucus layer that sits atop epithelial cells.

Whats the difference between specific and nonspecific responses in immunulogy? Report Abuse. a specific response is a response from the immune system to fight off a specific pathogen. Non specific responses from the immune system are response that are given out for any pathogen that enters the body.Non specific responses happen regardless of the pathogen that the immune system is fighting.on-Specific= Innate based. Neurophils, macrophages, - all using toll-like receptors or lps receptors, that engulf any pathogen, without caring what the pathogen is. It is not tailored to any specific pathogen and treats all equally.

Adaptive immune defenses Adaptive immune defenses. The immune response to viral infection comprises innate and adaptive defenses. The innate response, which we have discussed previously, functions continuously in a normal host without exposure to any virus.Most viral infections are controlled by the innate immune system.he adaptive defense consists of antibodies and lymphocytes, often called the humoral response and the cell mediated response. The term ‘adaptive’ refers to the differentiation of self from non-self, and the tailoring of the response to the particular foreign invader.

- The elements of the innate (non-specific) immune system (Table 2) include anatomical barriers, secretory molecules and cellular components. Among the mechanical anatomical barriers are the skin and internal epithelial layers, the movement of the intestines and the oscillation of broncho-pulmonary cilia.n addition, the innate immune system also has anatomical features that function as barriers to infection. Although these two arms of the immune system have distinct functions, there is interplay between these systems (i.e., components of the innate immune system influence the adaptive immune system and vice versa).

(The ISYS Project) Antigens are not the foreign microorganisms and tissues themselves; they are substances --- such as toxins or enzymes --- in the microorganisms or tissues that the immune system considers foreign. Immune responses are normally directed against the antigen that provoked them and are said to be antigen-specific.

- The innate immune response is a non-specific response, meaning it is activated simply by the presence of a pathogen. Cells of the innate system respond to pathogens in a very general, generic way.Their response does not change, regardless of the type of pathogen involved.Another key feature of the innate immune response is that it has no memory, and it cannot trigger the development of memory.his first part of a series about different arms of the immune response looks at the innate and adaptive immune responses. slide 1 of 4. The various arms of the immune system can be categorized in several different ways. One of these is in terms of innate and adaptive immune responses.
