3
Q
- H
A
Helper T-cell recognises antigen on the surface of macrophage and becomes active
4
Q
- A
A
Active helper T-cell activates cytotoxic t-cells and B-cells specific to that antigen. Via cytokines
5
Q
- C
A
Cytotoxic T-cells divide into active cytotoxic t-cells and memory t-cells
6
Q
- A
A
Active cytotoxic t-cells kill infected cells
7
Q
- B
A
At the same time b-cells divide into plasma cells and memory B cells
8
Q
- P
A
Plasma cells produce antibodies that deactivate pathogen
9
Q
- M
A
Memory t and memory b cells remain in the body to speed up response if the same antigen reappears.
10

- S
A
