They are known as killer T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests foreign proteins/pathogens that enter the body. They work in conjunction with another type of white blood cell called Helper T cells which do the actual targeting of the pathogen/protein.

Foreign invaders have proteins called?
antigens
What is The binding of complement proteins to certain sugars or proteins on a foreign Cell's surface?
The prelude to invasion.
What type of cell in the respiratory tract functions in phagocytes of inhaled pathogens and foreign particles?
Macrophages
Specialized cells that attack foreign substances upon recognizing the foreign surface antigens are called?
T-lymphocytes
What are plasma proteins that non specifically bind to pathogens?
Nonspecific plasma proteins that bind to pathogens are:Non-phagocytic leucocytes - Basophil. which contains granules of toxic chemicals that can digest foreign microorganisms. They are involved in allergic response.Mast Cells - They are similar to basophils, and contain inflammatory chemicals including histamine and seratonin that cause blood vessels near a wound to constrict.Complement proteins are plasma proteins which have a role in nonspecific and specific defenses.

How do the immune cells discover intracellular pathogens?
Immune cells can detect intracellular pathogens through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). When PRRs on immune cells bind to PAMPs, it triggers a signaling cascade that activates the immune response against the intracellular pathogen. This process helps immune cells detect and respond to the presence of intracellular pathogens.
What do phagocytes do for a site of injury?
Engulf pathogens, backteria, foreign bodies
What is the difference between innate and adaptive defenses?
Innate defenses - guard against pathogens Adaptive defenses - respond to specific foreign pathogens

What is the function of globulins in blood?
Globulins come in two forms; Immunoglobulins or Antibodies that attack foreign proteins and disease-causing organisms. The other is the transport proteins that carry small ions, hormones and other compounds, these can be LDLs and HDLs. Hope this answers your question, it came from my text book.Happy reading=)
