Describe antibody-mediated immunity and the functions of antibodies.
- Antigen in body
- Activates correct B-cell
- Multiply
- Differentiate (plasma cell)
- Secrete antibodies
- Form antigen-antibody complex
1. Neutralization - mask dangerous part of bacteria or virus, cannot infect anything else (enhance PC)
2. Agglutination - bacteria cannot move around and infect other things (enhance PC)
3. Precipitation - similar to agglutination, but for soluble antigens (enhance PC)
4. Complement System - antibodies bind to cell and activate this, cause cell to lyse and enhance inflammation and PC
