Question

In adaptive immunity if you are exposed to the flu virus while you are out for lunch, what category does that fall in for adaptive immunity?

Answer 1

Answer:

The transmission of viral infections via oral does not change the categorization of the adaptive immune responses (which are classified into antibody and cell-mediated immune responses)

Explanation:

The adaptive (acquired) immune system involves specific cells that act against pathogenic organisms in order to destroy them. The adaptive immune responses generate immunological memory after the initial response to a specific pathogenic organism, thereby leading to an enhanced response during subsequent infections. This type of immunity is associated with B cells and T cells and antigen-specific memory (antibodies). Influenza is a viral infection caused by the influenza virus, which is transmitted from coughs and sneezes, although the infection via oral may also occur from contaminated water and foods.
