Immunity Cell Types
T lymphocytes
Humoral-Mediated
Immunity Mode of Action
Antibodies in serum
Cell-Mediated
Immunity Mode of Action
Direct cell-to-cell contact or soluble products secreted (such as cytokines) by cells
Humoral-Mediated
Immunity Purpose
Primary defense against bacterial infection
Cell-Mediated
Immunity Purpose
Defense against viral and fungal infections, intracellular organisms
(parasites- malaria, babesia), tumor
antigens, and graft rejection.
Have barriers, phagocytes, dendritic cells, plasma cells (complement), and NK cells
Innate
these are the lymphocytes that did not yet encounter an antigen
Naive B and T cells-
Upon encountering an antigen, they will
bind to the antigen and they will form antibodies
Naive B cell
Once they will
encounter an antigen, they will become an effector T
cell.
Naive T cell
o will produce antibodies and recognize via membranebound antibodies.
o It can also recognize different chemical structures of different antibodies (proteins, lipids or
polysaccharides)
o Will depend on the type of antigen that is being encountered
B cells
The _____________ when stimulated by antigens, will
become plasma cells and then they will secrete large
number of antibodies after response.
The Naive B cells when stimulated by antigens, will
become plasma cells and then they will secrete large
number of antibodies after response.
________________ will remember the particular antigen, upon exposure, the response now will be faster
Memory B cells will remember the particular antigen, upon exposure, the response now will be faster
they can only recognize peptide fragments that are presented by APCs (Antigen
Presenting Cell
T cells
will present the antigen to the T cells) via molecules known as MHC (_________________________) that is present on the
surface of the APC
APCs (Antigen
Presenting Cell
MHC (Major
Histocompatibility Complex)
Upon presentation of the APC on a specific antigen that found on the MHC, the Naive T cell will become
stimulated and will be able to proliferate into two subsets:??
CD4 (T Helper cell)
CD8 (Cytotoxic T Cell)
secrete soluble molecules which will help the B cells to produce antibodies and activate macrophages
CD4 (T Helper cell)
