All cells have surface antigens that the body identifies as self or non-self, triggering immune responses including antibody production. The specific immune system is slower than the non-specific system, but memory cells allow for a rapid response to re-infections.
Todas las células tienen antígenos en su superficie que el cuerpo identifica como propios o extraños, desencadenando respuestas inmunitarias, incluida la producción de anticuerpos. El sistema inmunitario específico es más lento que el no específico, pero las células de memoria permiten una respuesta rápida a reinfecciones.
| Front | antigens on surface and speeds of specific/non specific 4.1.1(g) |
|---|---|
| Back | all cells have antigens on surface, which body identifies as self/non self, antigens trigger immune system response involving production of antibodies (polypeptides), specific immune system slower than non specific, but immune memmory cells allow it to react quickly to a second invasion of same pathogen |
