Lymphocytes? Flashcards
T-Helper cell
receptors on cell surface, bind to surface antigens on APCS.
produce interleukins which stimulate b cells, increasing antibody production and attracts macrophage to ingest pathogen.
T killer cell
destroy pathogen carrying antigens.
produce chemical called perferin, kill pathogen by making holes in membrane
t memory cell?
immunological memory
divide rapidly to form clones of the killer cells that kill recognised pathogen
t regulator cells
stop immune response after pathogen is killed.
recognise self antigens and stops auto immune response
B lymphocytes? plasma cells?
produce antibodies to a particular antigen and release them into circulation
2000 antibodies per second
b effector cell?
divide into plasma cell clones
b memory cell?
provide immunological memory.
remember specific antigens and enable the body to form a rapid response.
