Immunity which is provided by the coordinated activites of T cells and B cells, which respond to the presence of specific antigens. T cells = cell mediated immunity (cellular immunity). B cells = antibody-mediated immunity (humoral immunity)*body fluid.
Specific Defenses
specificity, versatility, memory, and tolerance. Memory cells enable the immune system to "remember" previous target antigens. Tolerance is the ability of the immunesystem to ignore some antigens, such as normal self.
Immunity properties
slow the spread of a virus by making the synthesizing cell and its neighbors resistant to viral infections.
Interferons
the ability to produce an immune response after exposure to an antigen.
