If you have had mumps or chickenpox before, you aren't going to get those illnesses again in the future. That is because of the specific immunity provided by lymphocytes in the lymphatic system. Briefly describe how specific immunity works. Your answer should include a description of what antigens are and the role that they play as well as the roles played by the different types of lymphocytes. Also, explain why you would have lifelong immunity to certain diseases after you have had them before or have received vaccinations against them.
