Memory Flashcards
What are the 3 types of B cells
- Short lived Plasma cells
- Long lived plasma cells
- Central Memory B cells
Where are short lived plasma cells produced
in lymphoid follicles of secondary lymphoid organs
where do short lived plasma cells travel to
bone marrow and spleen
what do short lived plasma cells do
produce lots and lots or antibodies
how long do short lived plasma cells live for
few days
where are long lived plasma cells produced
lymphoid follicles of secondary lymphoid organs
where do long lived plasma cells travel to
bone marrow
what do long lived plasma cells do
continuously produce modest amounts of antibodies
T/F long lived plasma cells provide life long protection
True
what is the purpose of central memory B cells
- maintain a pool of central memory B cells
- replace long lived plasma cells when old and dying
what do central memory B cells do when we encounter an antigen again
quickly proliferates making more short lived plasma cells
T/F t cell memory is similar to B cell memory
True
what are the 3 types of T cells (after activation)
- Effector T cells
- memory Effector T cells
- Central Memory T cells
where do the central memory T cells travel to
stay on the secondary lymphoid organ
what is the job of Effector T cells
travel to battle site and fight
