T cells (Thymus cells) and B cells (bone cells).
The function of T cells and B cells is to recognize specific "non-self" antigens, during a process known as antigen presentation. Once they have identified an invader, the cells generate specific responses that are tailored to maximally eliminate specific pathogens or pathogen infected cells. B cells respond to pathogens by producing large quantities of antibodies which then neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. In response to pathogens some T cells, called T helper cells, produce cytokines that direct the immune response while other T cells, called cytotoxic T cells, produce toxic granules that contain powerful enzymes which induce the death of pathogen infected cells.
Following activation, B cells and T cells leave a lasting legacy of the antigens they have encountered, in the form of memory cells. Throughout the lifetime of an animal these memory cells will "remember" each specific pathogen encountered, and are able to mount a strong and rapid response if the pathogen is detected again.
What else can I help you with?
What are the main two types of lymphocytes?
T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes
T-cell lymphocytes that inhibit the activity of B cell lymphocytes?
suppressor T-cells
What is a collective label for t and b immune cells?
Lymphocytes
What are two kinds of lymphocytes?
Lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell found in the vertebral immune system. Lymphocytes can be divided into Large lymphocytes and small lymphocytes when viewed under the microscope. The Large lymphocytes include natural killer cells (NK cells) There are mainly two types of Lymphocytes. T Lymphocytes and B Lymphocytes. (these are small lymphocytes according to the microscopic view) B Lymphocytes have 3 subsets. You can see the attached link for further information.
Why do conditions that cause destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes cause malfunctioning of both specific and nonspecific immune responses?
The destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes is a cell injury. Both of these lymphocytes are needed to activate the specific and nonspecific immune responses.
What are the differences between b lymphocytes an t lymphocytes?
T cells are a specific type of lymphocyte that are identified via immunologic staining; they are involved in the cell lysis portion of the immune response to viruses and intracellular bacteria.
What kinds of lymphocytes are there?
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. There are two kinds of lymphocytes. These are the T-cells and B-cells.
Where do B- and T-lymphocytes originate?
lymphocyte counts
What are lympthocytes?
Lymphocytes are types of White Blood Cells in the immune system. There are two main types of lymphocytes,B lymphocytes,T lymphocytes.Plasma B lymphocytes produce large amounts of antibodies when you have a bacteria, virus or fungi.Memory B lymphocytes remember things you've already had and change into Plasma B lymphocytes to then produce certain antibodies that can kill the bacteria before it turns into a disease.The T lymphocytes are much more aggressive though,things like cytotoxic T lymphocytes will destroy cells that are infected with a virus. Hope I helped. :)
Where do B cells and T cells originate?
They both originate in the red bone marrow. B lymphocytes mature there. T lymphocytes mature in the thymus gland.
Function of T-Lymphocytes?
T- lymphocytes are the "Generals of the immune system" and direct much of the immune response. Their biggest role is in telling B lymphocytes to make antibodies but they also have other functions.
What is the role of tymus in protecting the body against disease?
Thymus produces T lymphocytes, when bone marrow produces B lymphocytes. T lymphocytes eat away the pathogens that has entered in your body.
