Antigen Specificity and Receptor Diversity
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Adaptive immune cells carry receptors generated through genetic recombination to recognize one antigen shape each, together giving the population an enormous recognition range.
Show
Only the small lymphocyte subset whose receptor matches an invading antigen gets activated during infection.
Watch for
Receptor diversity forms before any infection — the body does not custom-build a receptor for a specific threat.
