What system is involved?
Lymphatic system
Where are WBCs produced and B cells mature
Bone Marrow
where do T cells mature
Thymus
What filters blood and has B cells?
Spleen
What is the traveling route from tissues to lymphnodes?
Lymphatic vessels
What is the meeting place for pathogens and WBCs?
Lymphnodes
Nonself molecule that generates antibodies
Antigen
Region of antigen that is recognized and bound by immune system molecules
Epitope
Role of DCs and MOs
Professional APCs
Where does APC present antigen to T cell?
Lymph node
How is the antigen displayed?
Surface of APC with MHC
What is the antigen presented to first?
T cell
What does the T cell use to detect/need
CD4 coreceptor, T cell receptor (TCR), cytokines
Activated in response to a exogenous pathogen
Humoral response
Pathogen outside of host cells
Exogenous
In a humoral response, what does the APC present the pathogen on?
MHC 2
In a humoral response what is the coreceptor called?
CD 4
What cell does the APC present antigen to in a humoral response?
Helper T cell
How does the Helper T cell respond to antigen presentation in a humoral response?
Activation and coordination of other WBCS
What is an outcome of a helper T cell in the humoral response
Mitosis
What cell (not APC) must present antigen to Helper T in a humoral response?
A B cell
How does a B cell get a antigen
Comes in contact with pathogen via phagocytosis
How does a B cell respond?
Mitosis
What cells types can B cells mature into
Plasma cells and memory cells
