What is the role of interleukin 2?

Interleukin-2 is a member of a large group of cytokines or growth factors with several roles. Some of the roles of Interleukin-2, or Thymocyte Stimulating Factor (also called: T-Cell Growth Factor), are: a) induces T-cell growth and proliferation; b) enhances natural killer cell activity; c) potentiates the release of gamma-interferon, B-cell growth factor, and B-cell differentiation factor; d) restores T-cell function in immunodeficiency disease states.Biotech Interleukin-2 drugs are indicated to cancer immunotherapy, T-cell deficiency, various infectious diseases, including AIDS, and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.


What T-cell causes the B-cell lymphocyte to multiply in response to an infection?

Helper T-cells, also known as CD4+ T-cells, are responsible for activating B-cells in response to an infection. Helper T-cells recognize antigens presented by B-cells and release cytokines that stimulate B-cell proliferation and antibody production. This interaction is important for the adaptive immune response to effectively combat infections.


Are Memory cells descendants of an activated B or T cell?

Yes


How helper T cell stimulate an increase in the number of B cell?

Helper T cells release cytokines that activate B cells by binding to their surface receptors. This interaction stimulates B cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells, which produce antibodies. This process helps increase the number of B cells specific to a particular antigen and enhances the immune response.


When a B or T cell is primed by an interaction with its particular antigen the cell does what?

grows, divides, and differentiates further

What does the t mean in t cells?

Thymus Lymphocytes could be roughly divided into two categories. B cell and T cell. Though they both originate from the bone marrow, T cell migrate to the" thymus," where it reach maturity while B cell got mature in the bone. That is, T stands for thymus. However, B doesn't mean "bone" actually, for B cell was first discovered in the "bursa of Fabricius" in a bird.


What determines if a lymphocyte becomes a B cell or a T cell?

Where it is produced


A white blood cell necessary for B cells to develop normal levels of antibodies?

Well firstly an antigen presenting cell like dendritic cell or macrophage is needed. Secondly you also need a T cell that is complementary to the B cell. B cell will only become plasma cell when it receives the full signal 1. Stimuli: CD4 from T cell interacting with BcR/antigen complex on B cell 2. Co-stimuli: CD40L (CD154) on T cell interacting with CD40 on B cell This interaction allows T cell to secrete IL4, this binds to IL4R on B cell thus receive signal for proliferating and differentiating.
