The T cells are responsible for 1 humoral immunity 2 cell-mediated immunity 3 generalized immune response 4 allergies?

Cell-mediated immunity. T cells play a key role in cell-mediated immunity by directly attacking infected cells or coordinating the immune response.


Why does cell-mediated immunity decrease at puberty?

Cell-mediated immunity decreases at puberty due to hormonal changes that can influence the development and function of immune cells, such as T cells. During puberty, there is a shift in the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, which can affect immune regulation and responsiveness. Additionally, hormonal changes can impact the production of cytokines and other immune mediators involved in cell-mediated immunity.


A disease that involves a defect in the the cell mediated immunity system is?

A defect in the cell-mediated immune system response was identified with regard to Hepatitis B (with many articles written about this in 2008-2009). HIV-AIDS is another disease with a defect in cell-mediated immune response, as well. There are other immunodeficiency diseases involving this kind of defect, too. immunological deficiency syndroms


An immune response in which t cells destroy antigens?

This process is called cell-mediated immunity. T cells, specifically cytotoxic T cells, recognize and destroy cells that are infected with a pathogen or abnormal cells, such as cancer cells. This immune response is crucial for clearing infections and providing immunity against future exposures to the same antigen.


What is the process when large molecules bind to receptors on the plasma membrane and are then engulfed by the cell called?

The process is called receptor-mediated endocytosis. It involves the binding of large molecules to specific receptors on the cell membrane, triggering the formation of vesicles that engulf the molecules and transport them into the cell. This process is important for nutrient uptake and cell signaling.

A given pathogen will provoke either a cell-mediated response or an antibody-mediated response but not both?

This statement is not accurate. Pathogens can provoke both cell-mediated and antibody-mediated responses at the same time. The type of immune response generated depends on the specific characteristics of the pathogen and the immune system of the host.

What are the advantages to cell mediated immune response?

The cell-mediated immune response is able to target and destroy infected cells directly, providing a more rapid response to intracellular pathogens. It also plays a key role in immunological memory, allowing the immune system to remember and quickly respond to future encounters with the same pathogen. Additionally, cell-mediated immunity can provide long-lasting protection against certain infections.

Which cell type interacts with humoral and cell-mediated immune pathways?

T lymphocytes (T cells) are the cell type that interacts with both humoral and cell-mediated immune pathways. They help orchestrate immune responses by recognizing antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells and signaling other immune cells to either produce antibodies (in the case of B cells) or kill infected cells directly.


What does not respond to cell-mediated immunity?

Non-living things such as toxins, chemicals, and drugs do not respond to cell-mediated immunity since they do not have cells or antigens that can be recognized and targeted by the immune system's T cells.


The difference between pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis is that?

pinocytosis is a non-specific process where the cell engulfs extracellular fluid and particles, while receptor-mediated endocytosis is a selective process that relies on specific receptors binding to ligands for internalization. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is more efficient and targeted compared to pinocytosis.
