Cell-Mediated response

Question 1

What are the main cells involved in the cell-mediated response

Answer 1

T-cells

Question 2

What can T-cells only bind to

Answer 2

antigen presenting cells

Question 3

3 types of antigen presenting cells

Answer 3

Body cell
B-cell
Phagocyte

Question 4

How do naive T-cells clone

Answer 4

By binding to a processed antigen on a phagocyte

Question 5

Naive t-cell

Answer 5

A T-cell that has never seen an antigen before

Question 6

Helper T-cells with B-cells

Answer 6

Helper T-cell binds to a processed antigen on a B-cell causing the b-cell to clone itself in the humoral response

Question 7

Helper T-cells with phagocytes

Answer 7

Helper T-cells can release chemicals near pathogens to attract phagocytes to trigger phagocytosis

Question 8

Helper T-cells which turn into cytotoxic T-cells

Answer 8

Cloned helper T-cells activate cytotoxic T-cells to destroy our own body cells infected with a virus

Question 9

How do cytotoxic T-cells kill infected body cells

Answer 9

Cytotoxic T-cells releases a protein called perforin which put holes in the membrane
Ions move in and out of the cell leading to its destruction
