Steps Of Adptive Immune Response Flashcards
First step
Macrophages from the innate immune response engulf the pathogen. The antigens from the pathogen are displayed on the macrophage
Second step
Macrophages travel to the lymph nodes and activate the helper T Cells
Third step
Helper T cells clone themselves and release chemicals called cytokines
The chemicals released (cytokines) activate two types of cells
Cytotoxic T Cells and B Cells
Fourth Step (2 parts to this step) OCCUR AT SAME TIME!!
Cell mediated immune response and humoral immune response
Deal with infected cells and destroy pathogens, use T Cells
Cell mediated immune response
Destroy pathogen and prevent future infections, cells used: B Cells and memory cells
Humoral Immune Response
Step A: of cell mediated immune response
Cytokines activate cytotoxic T Cells
Step 5 A: cell mediated immune response
Cytotoxic T Cells travel to the site of infection and destroy infected cells by using performs to pop the cell membrane
Step 4B: Humoral Immune Response
Cytokines activate B Cells, B cells begin producing antibodies that match the antigens of the pathogen
Step 5B: Humoral Immune Response
The antibodies bind to the pathogen’s antigens ( matching puzzle pieces) blocking the pathogen from infecting more host cells
Step 6B: Humoral Immune Response
Some B Cells become antibody producing memory cells, which last a long time and provide immunity ( the ability to resist an infection) from the pathogen
