ANSWER -

our immune system is very varied and have a lot of anitbodies and other cells which are very specific for action against vaarious kind of pathogens, like for viruses we have interferons, for bacteria we have NK cells and others.

whenever a bacteria attacks the host, the host cells on which the bacteria are attaking, releases a help signal which are also called as inflammatory signal agents  which are directed towards the innate immunity of the host. the host then secrets neutrophils which are directed to kill the cells which are infected by bacteria, these neutrophils along with the help of Nk Cells attack the bacteria with the help of another two type of cells which are called as MHC cells and helper t cell.

the helper t cell are produced in the thymus and mhc cells are endogeneous antigens, the helper t cell provides a platform for mhc class II molecule to attach to the surface of the helper t cell which are then directed towards the bacteria infected cells, and the receptors which are present on the surface of the mhc cell interact with the bacteria infected host cells receptors and result into killing of cell along with the bacteria. this is the basic of how bacteria is being killed by the immune responses of the host body.

Discuss the immune response to an extracellular bacterial pathogen. Include the branch(es) of the immune system which would mount the response, how that response would be mounted, and the major effector functions that would be observed. While you should include information on the innate immune response to your chosen pathogen, the bulk of your response should be focused on the adaptive immune response. I'm looking for a 1-2 pages response, but anything will help, thanks!

Some bacteria produce multiple toxins that interfere with the host’s immune response. For example, one bacterial toxin is a protease that cleaves the proteins that form tight junctions between skin cells. The result is severe, widespread blistering (patches of skin sort of peel away from the body). (a) Explain how this toxin helps the pathogen. (b) What branch of the immune system can best defend against this toxin?
