Adaptive Immune Response
The adaptive immune response is a powerful defense mechanism that comes into play when the innate immune response falls short in eliminating pathogens. This intricate system involves specific antibodies produced by B cells, which bind to antigens, such as viruses and bacteria, marking them for destruction. Antibodies can neutralize pathogens, impeding their ability to infect…
