the specific immune response Flashcards
lymphocytes are produced and look like
in white bone marrow from stem cells.
T cells are produced in thymus gland
large round nucleus and clear cytoplasm.
two types of lymphocytes
T and B
T lymphocytes
T helper cells
T killer
T memory
T regulator
T helper
produce
receptors bind to surface antigens on antigen presenting cells,
produce interleukins type of cytokine. they stimulate B cells and T cells. as well as macrophages.
T killer
produces chemical called perforin makes holes in path cell mem.
T memory
part of immunological memory. meet antigen second Tim divide rapidly divide v quick.
T regulator cells
stop immune system when pathogen destroyed.
B lymphocytes
plasma cells
B effector cells
B memory cells
plasma cells
produce antibodies complementary to particular antigen.
b effector cells
divide to form plasma cells
B memory cell
immunological memory. remember specific antigen and enable body to make rapid response when path encountered again.
