Dendritic cells. They will take in pathogens and present them on MHC's (class 1 or class 2) depending on the nature of the pathogen. Dendritic cells will travel to your secondary lymph system (lymph nodes) for the pathogen to be identified and appropriately responded to.

Which part of the immune system can most effectively eliminate influenza virus that has infected body cells?
We call this type of immunity adaptive---> natural----> active immunity. Here how it works: Adaptive immunity involves two classes of lymphocyte: B cells and T cells which work together in a coordinated system of adaptive immunity B cells-antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity T cells-cell-mediated (cellular) immunity Adaptive immunity occurs in a series of stages 1. Recognition of antigen (flu virus) 2. Activation of lymphocytes 3. Effector phase (immune attack) 4. Decline of antigen causes lymphocyte death (homeostatic balance) 5. Memory cells remain for later response if needed
What is the use of lymphocyte?
it is for immunity T-cell is for attack and B-cell is for anti body
What is the type of lymphocyte involved in nonspecific immunity?
natural killer cell
What is the difference between autocrine signaling and endocrine signaling?
In autocrine signaling, a substance produced by a cell effects that cell, as with cytokines in the immunity system. Endrocrine signaling is a systemic response to a substance.
Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?
Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.
The MHC is important in?
MHC is important in adaptive immunity. It provides your adaptive immunity, T cells, processed antigens so that it can decide whether what your cell has is a foreign substance that needs to be destroyed or if it is self that needs to be left alone.
What do IgE antibodies T cell receptors and MHC molecules have in common?
They are all players of your adaptive immunity.
Adaptive immunity is produced by which cell?
There are many cells involved in adaptive immunity and requires them to work together for a fully functional adaptive response. These cells include: CD4 (Th1 & Th2) T cells, B cells (plasma and memory), professional antigen presenting (APC) cells that include: dendritic cell, B cells and macrophages.
How can cancer cells and virus infected body cells be killed before activation of adaptive immunity?
NK cell
Is a mast cell a lymphocyte or a phagocyte?
mast cell is not a lymphocyte mast cell is not a professional phagocyte, but an occasional phagocyte
When was Cell Signaling Technology created?
Cell Signaling Technology was created in 1999.
What is Cell Signaling Technology's population?
Cell Signaling Technology's population is 300.
