There are three types of T cells:
* Th cells: T helper cells which bind to foreign antigens on an antigen presenting cell (APC) and secrete cytokines, hereby initiating an immune system response. * Tc cells: T cytotoxic cells, which bind to the infected cell and secretes the cytotoxins perforin and granulysin and thus lysing the cell, killing it. * Ts cells: T suppressor cells, which shutdown the immunity system after the infection has been eliminated from the body. B cells, upon detecting the presence of cytokines, divide and differentiate into two types of cells:
* Plasma cells; which secrete antibodies * Memory cells; which persist in the body in case there is a recurrent infection with the same disease, then a faster and more efficient immune response would occur.
Following a primary immune response, memory cells are generated from activated B and T cells. These memory cells can recognize the same pathogen if encountered in the future, leading to a faster and stronger secondary immune response. Memory cells are vital for the immune system's ability to provide long-lasting protection against specific pathogens.
lymphocytes (t cells and b cells)
Plasma cells arise from B cells during the immune response. B cells differentiate into plasma cells in response to antigen stimulation, and plasma cells are responsible for producing and secreting antibodies to fight off pathogens.
A decrease in the population of T lymphocytes (T cells) would impair all aspects of an immune response. T cells play a critical role in coordinating and regulating the immune response, including activating other immune cells such as B cells and macrophages, and directly killing infected cells.
B cells play a role in producing antibodies, while T helper cells (Th cells) help activate and coordinate the immune response. Cytotoxic T cells (Tc cells) are responsible for directly killing infected cells. Both Th cells and Tc cells are types of T cells, with Th cells regulating the immune response and Tc cells directly attacking infected cells.
B cells activate T cells in the immune response by presenting antigens to T cells. This interaction triggers the T cells to become activated and multiply, leading to a coordinated immune response against the invading pathogen.
T-cells B-cells
T-cells B-cells
B cells are activated in the immune response when they encounter a specific antigen that matches their receptors. This triggers the B cells to multiply and differentiate into plasma cells, which produce antibodies to target and neutralize the antigen.
Epidermal cells that aid in the immune response include melanocytes.
Specific defenses in the immune system include antibodies produced by B cells, which recognize and neutralize specific pathogens. T cells can also destroy infected cells and regulate the immune response. In addition, memory cells are formed after an infection, allowing for a quicker and stronger response upon reinfection.
T cells activate B cells in the immune response by releasing signaling molecules called cytokines. These cytokines stimulate the B cells to multiply and produce antibodies that target and destroy pathogens. This process helps the immune system to effectively fight off infections.
Humoral
B cells get activated in the immune response process when they encounter a specific antigen that matches their receptors. This triggers the B cell to divide and differentiate into plasma cells, which produce antibodies to target and neutralize the antigen.
T cells apex or B cells
Following a primary immune response, memory cells are generated from activated B and T cells. These memory cells can recognize the same pathogen if encountered in the future, leading to a faster and stronger secondary immune response. Memory cells are vital for the immune system's ability to provide long-lasting protection against specific pathogens.
