Immunity
• Ability of the body to resist a specific pathogen.

Inflammatory Response
• Nonspecific defense reaction to tissue damage caused by injury or infection.

Fever
• Elevated body temperature that occurs in response to infection.

Interferon
• One of a group of proteins that helps cells resist viral infection.

Immune Response
• The body’s specific defenses that attack a disease-causing agent.

Antigen
• Substance that triggers an immune response.

Humoral Immunity
• Immunity against antigens and pathogens in the body fluids.

Cell-Mediated Immunity
• Immunity against abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells.

Antibody
• Protein that helps destroy pathogens.

Vaccination
• Injection of a weakened or mild form of a pathogen to produce immunity.

Active Immunity
• Immunity produced by exposure to an antigen, as a result of the immune response.

Passive Immunity
• Short-term immunity caused when antibodies produced by other animals for a pathogen are injected into the body.

Key Concept
• The function of the immune system is to fight infection through the production of cells that inactivate foreign substances or cells.

Key Concept
• Your body’s most important nonspecific defense is the skin.
