part: complement.enzyme
subtype: anamnestic_response__anamnestic_reaction renewed rapid production of an antibody on the second (or subsequent) encounter with the same antigen
subtype: humoral_immune_response__humoralimmuneresponse an immune response (chiefly against bacterial invasion) that is mediated by B cells
subtype: cell-mediated_immune_response an immune response (chiefly against viral or fungal invasions or transplanted tissue) that involves T cells
subtype: complement_fixation an immune response in which an antigen-antibody combination inactivates a complement (so it is unavailable to participate in a second antigen-antibody combination)
