|
Answer» T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes work for specific immunity. Features of specific immunity are as follows: i. Specificity: Specific antibody response to specific antigen. ii. Memory: During the first interaction of antigen with B-cells and T-cells, few cells are stored as memory cell which encounter vigorously in second infection. iii. Distinction between self and non-self: The immune system can recognise foreign particles and kill them without killing its own or self cells. iv. Diversity: The immune system provides various or diverse antibodies to kill or destroy diverse antigens. |
