Serology
The study of the body’s immune system
Immunology
Immunology is the study of the body’s mechanisms that:
mechanisms that:
▪ Discriminatebetweenselfandnon-self. ▪ Eliminate non-self components such as
infectious agents.
Smallpox vaccination
He is the one which opened immunology as a discipline
Edward Jenner
Discovered Phagocytosis
Ernst Haeckel
It is a very important immune process because it is the process by which your blood cells actually
attack the microorganisms.
Cell eating
Phagocytosis
Live, attenuated chicken cholera and anthrax vaccines
▪ He came up with another vaccine, this time, this is for cholera and anthrax.
▪ A significant figure in microbiology
Pasteur
Cellular theory of immunity through phagocytosis

2 division of Immune system
Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate and Adaptive
-Present in both
Self/ non-self discrimination
Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Present in both
Self/ non-self discrimination
the amount of time when there is no action yet of the immune system.
Lag phase
For the ______ there is not much lag phase, that means that once it sees the pathogen it will immediately act on it.
innate
For the ________, there is a lag phase on the first time that it encounters the pathogen/s.
adaptive
The _______ is not that specific, that means it will usually attack almost all the pathogens regardless of specificty
innate
On the ______ side, it is specific to a particular pathogen only.
▪ This has a distinct advantage.
adaptive
itisthepresence of different types of cells or components.
Diversity
The diversity in ______ is limited
Innate
_______ is very diverse because it is
specific, that means there are cells and antibodies specific to a particular pathogen.
Adaptive
