Micro 9: Antigen-Specific Immune Responses
This episode explores adaptive immunity - the antigen-specific arm of host defence that confers precision, memory, and long-term protection. Drawing from Murray’s chapter, it introduces the cellular and molecular mechanisms that allow the immune system to distinguish self from non-self and mount highly specific responses to distinct pathogens.
The episode moves through lymphocyte development, antigen presentation, clonal expansion, antibody production, and cell-mediated immunity. Rather than presenting these as abstract immunological pathways, the narrative frames adaptive immunity as a…
