Normal Immune Response Humoral Immunity Antibody-mediated immunity Antibodies produced by plasma cells (differentiated B lymphocytes) Primary immune response is evident 4 to 8 days after initial exposure to antigen. Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
33
Normal Immune Response Humoral Immunity Five classes of immune globulins Each has specific characteristics IgG lgA lgM lgD lgE Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
34
Normal Immune Response Humoral Immunity When an individual is exposed to an antigen for a second time, the response is faster (1 to 3 days) and lasts longer. Main product of secondary response is IgG rather than IgM. Memory cells account for more rapid production of IgG. Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
