Chapter 34.5, Problem 6RIA
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.

The projections of the LGN to the visual cortex are easy to tract because:
layers 1 and 2 are magnocellular pathways and layers 3,4,5 and 6 are
parvocellular pathway
layers 1 and 2 are parvocellular pathways and layers 3,4,5 and 6 are
magnocellular pathway
layers 2,3 and 5 are parvocellular and layers 1,4 and 6 are magnocellular
doesn't matter because there is a mixture of pathways in each layers

- 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.
