Although the immune system has two arms, it has been said, “No T cells, no immunity.” How is this so?
One beautiful warm day in June, you are on a picnic and are stung on your finger by a bee. Although it hurt a little, you are soon enjoying the early summer day. The next morning you wake up to fi nd that your finger is swollen, quite stiff, red, and warmer than the rest of your fi ngers. In addition, you seem to have a bit of a fever.a. Which parts of the immune system seem to be activated?b. Which classic responses to injury did you experience?c. Explain which cytokines and cell types were probably most responsible for manyof your symptoms.
Under what circumstances might NK cells kill our own cells?

- What type(s) of biological molecule(s) are the best at inducing immune responses? What properties make these molecules good antigens? (Remember: the biological molecules are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids)arrow_forwardASAP What are plasma cells and memory B cells, and how do they function?arrow_forwardWhy do immune complexes form only when an antigen is soluble?arrow_forward
- B lymphocytes, the precursors of plasma cells, are triggered to proliferate by the binding of multivalent antigens to receptors on their surfaces. The cell-surface receptors are transmembrane immunoglobulins. Univalent antigens, in contrast, do not activate B cells. (a) What do these findings reveal about the mechanism of B-cell activation? (b) How might antibodies be used to activate B cells?arrow_forwardIf you had to choose between losing function of your B or T cells, which would you choose, and why?arrow_forwardPhagocytes move through capillary walls by squeezing between adjacent endothelial cells, a process known as (a) diapedesis. (b) chemotaxis. (c) adhesion. (d) perforation.arrow_forward
- Which statement best describes the difference between responses of effector B cells (plasma cells) and those of cytotoxic T cells? (A) B cells confer active immunity;cytotoxic T cells confer passive immunity. (B) B cells respond the first time a pathogen is present; cytotoxic T cells respond subsequent times. (C) B cells secrete antibodies against a pathogen; cytotoxic T cells kill pathogen-infected host cells. (D) B cells carry out the cell-mediated response; cytotoxic T cells carry out the humoral response.arrow_forwardWhy do antibodies against cell surface antigens often produce pathological reactions while antibodies against intracellular antigens do not?arrow_forwardyou can make billions of different B cell receptors, why?arrow_forward
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) preferentially destroys CD4+ cells. Specifically, what effect does this have on antibody and cell-mediated immunity?arrow_forwardT cells and B cells can be activated only by, (a) pathogenic microorganisms.(b) interleukins, interferons, and colony-stimulating factors. (c) cells infected with viruses, bacterial cells, or cancer cells.
