Key Facts About Adaptive Immunity

Specific: Each immune response targets one specific antigen shape
Memory: Faster, stronger response upon re-exposure — the basis of vaccination
Two types of lymphocyte: B cells make antibodies; T cells coordinate the response and kill infected cells
Antibodies are proteins: Produced by plasma cells, shaped to fit one antigen
Antitoxins are antibodies: When the target is a toxin rather than a whole pathogen, antibodies are called antitoxins
Phagocytes still needed: Antibodies tag pathogens — phagocytes do the actual engulfing and destroying
