Chapter 33.5, Problem 6CC
Summary Introduction
Lymphocytes are a type of leukocytes, found mainly in the lymph. The three types of lymphocytes present in our body are T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. T cells are synthesized in the thymus, whereas B cells are produced in the bone marrow. Both these cells are components of the adaptive immune system. There are two types of T cells namely cytotoxic T cell and helper T cell.

25. Vaccination is very indispensable to humans and animals to get rid from pathogens. How does a
person get antibodies upon vaccination?
A. Vaccines have induced B-cells that react if infection invades your body.
B. Vaccines today have active version of the pathogen which stimulates B-cells to produce
antíbodies against that pathogen.
A. Using the table below, match the local and systemic effects in column A with the appropriate cytokine in column B. Note that more than one answer in column B may be used.
B. (i) Which of these cytokines are produced by macrophages? (ii) Which cells produce the other(s)?

- Neutralizing antibodies are effective at preventing infection or toxicity mediated by pathogens or their toxic products. In fact, nearly all vaccines currently in use function by eliciting neutralizing antibodies. One example is the tetanus vaccine, in which neutralizing antibodies are generated against an inactivated form of the tetanus toxin (the tetanus toxoid). The most important feature of a neutralizing antibody is having high affinity for the antigen. being efficient at activating the complement cascade. having a high degree of multivalency, such as being a pentamer or hexamer of immunoglobulin monomers. being present at a high concentration in the circulation. 0 0 0 0arrow_forwardDescribe Class I MHC pathway of antigen processing and presentation.
