List the four components to the body's immune response
What will be an ideal response?
The cell-mediated response is responsible for the production of T-cell lymphocytes. The immune response is responsible for the production of B-cell lymphocytes with antigen exposure and the resulting antibody development. Body tissues respond to injury with inflammation, also known as non-specific immune response. The specific immune response activates when the inflammatory response is not adequate to manage the infectious or inflammatory process.
