The adaptive immune system is a sophisticated part of vertebrate immunity, capable of creating tailored responses to pathogens and forming immunological memory. It includes humoral responses by B cells and cell-mediated responses by T cells. The system's specificity is achieved through somatic recombination, with memory cells providing lasting immunity. Vaccination exploits this memory to prevent diseases.
