1Molecules that can be recognised by the immune system are called [blank_start]antigens[blank_end]. If antigens are distinguished as [blank_start]foreign[blank_end], an [blank_start]immune[blank_end] [blank_start]response[blank_end] is stimulated against them.
- Aantigens
- Bforeign
- Cimmune
- Dresponse
2Cells of the immune system called [blank_start]B cells[blank_end] produce antibodies against foreign antigens. This targets the [blank_start]antigen[blank_end] for destruction by specialised cells of the immune system. Some B cells will specialise into [blank_start]memory[blank_end] B cells, which remain in the body for long periods of time and are ready to respond [blank_start]quickly[blank_end] if the antigen is seen again.
- AB cells
- Bantigen
- Cmemory
- Dquickly
3Vaccines exploit [blank_start]memory[blank_end] immunity, by exposing us to foreign antigens. The antigens alone [blank_start]cannot[blank_end] hurt us, but they do prepare our body for attack by pathogens by stimulating the specialisation of [blank_start]B memory cells[blank_end].
- Amemory
- Bcannot
- CB memory cells
4Appropriately label the diagram below
- ASlow
- BFast
- CFast
- DSlow
- EB memory cell
- FT killer cell
- GB memory cell
- HT killer cell
- IBacteria killed
- JBacteria transported to the heart
- KBacteria morph into B cells
5Vaccine have been successfully employed to prevent disease for decades. Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by the polio [blank_start]virus[blank_end]. Vaccines derived from dead an [blank_start]inactivated[blank_end] polioviruses are widespread and have almost eradicated poliomyelitis.
- Avirus
- Binactivated
