Q

how do T cells form

A

start in bone marrow, move to thymus (cortex to medulla), mature and selected into naive CD4 or CD8, go out into the periphery

T cells move into paracortical regions of LN and periarteriolar sheaths of spleen.

will mature into helper(CD4) or cytotoxic(CD8) T cells when presented with antien peptide attached to MHC

Q

how do B cells form

A

start in bone marrow, move to follicle in secondary lymphoid organ, mature into plasma cells that make antibodies

  1. Ag-independent phase in primary lymphoid tissues (BM, ileal Peyer’s patches). Following this phase, B cells express IgM and IgD on surface that signifies a mature B cell.
  2. Ag-dependent phase in secondary lymphoid tissues (spleen, LN, tonsils, Peyer’s patches). In this phase, Ag-activated mature B cells differentiate into IgM-secreting plasma cells or switch to another antibody isotype.

B cells live in follicles of lymphnodes, spleen or GALT/MALT and can see soluable Ag
