- Non-Specific White Blood Cells
- Attack and engulf anything that's not meant to be there
- A network of Immune Responses including White Blood Cells etc.
- Specific White Blood Cells
- These recognise particular Antigens
- Antigen
- Substances that trigger immune responses - usually proteins on the surface of a microorganism
- These are specific for each Microorganism
- Antigen
- Certain kinds produce Antibodies
- Antibodies
- Antibodies are proteins specific to a particular Antigen.
- These do on of 3 things
- Mark them for other WBCs
- Neutralise them
- Kill them
- Once a WBC has made an Antibody it will divide to produce more identical cells that produce the same antibody
- Some stay in the body as Memory Cells
- Antibodies
- These recognise particular Antigens
- Non-Specific White Blood Cells
