Source sentences:
text: The number of different proteins and organisms we encounter in our lifetime is enormous and the acquired immune system is able to generate a specific response against each one!
text: The innate immune system is a non-specific response that includes deterrents like the skin, enzymes in saliva, and inflammatory reactions by immune cells.
text: These responses are nonspecific, but they influence subsequent specific adaptive immune responses.
text: The number of different proteins and organisms we encounter in our lifetime is enormous and the acquired immune system is able to generate a specific response against each one!
text: This response is more general and non-specific.
text: These cells embody the functions of adaptation and memory, allowing the immune system to make increasingly specific responses and to remember individual types of infection, so that reinfection is met with a faster and more effective counterattack.
text: Or dangerous in the long-term because a chronic infection becomes established or because the immune system over-reacts and develops specific responses that attack healthy tissue.
text: This ensures that the response is specific against the bacterium that started the whole process.
text: The adaptive immune response is highly specific for invading pathogens.
text: Innate immune responses are non-specific, and don't require exposure to a pathogen to trigger them.
text: The adaptive immune response is specific to a pathogen and takes a longer time to elicit.
text: Unlike the innate response, the adaptive immune response is specific to a particular pathogen.
text: The immune system also generates specific responses to specific invaders.
text: The innate immune system is a non-specific response that includes primary deterrents.
