Summary Introduction

To label: The components in the following diagram that shows a helper T cell is activated by interaction with an antigen-presenting cell and the helper T cell's central role in activating both humoral and cell-mediated immunities.

Introduction: The immune system plays an important role in the human body. It protects the body from the invading organisms. The immune system is classified into two types namely the innate immune system and adaptive immune system. The innate immune system starts its action from the time of birth whereas the adaptive immune system starts its action in the later stages of life when exposed to antigens for the first time. The adaptive immune system is divided into two types namely humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity.

The diagram shows a pathogen (in red) that is present in different cellular compartments of each of the cell types shown. In each case, a specific T cell subset will recognize peptides of that pathogen presented on MHC molecules on the surface of the cell, and will execute its effector function. From the list below, match the appropriate T cell effector response to the cell type and location of the pathogen. CD4 T cell killing of target cell CD8 T cell killing of target cell CD4 T cell activation of target cell’s antibody production CD8 T cell activation of target cell’s antibody production CD4 T cell activation of target cell’s ability to kill intracellular pathogen CD8 T cell activation of target cell’s ability to kill intracellular pathogen
Discuss three differences between antigen and antibodies Explain the structure of the antibody molecule. Discuss the differences between humoral and cell mediated immunity in terms of chemicals and cells involved in each process as they tackle pathogens.
Describe the following components of adaptive immunity and the function of each. Antigen presenting cell MHC molecules  Helper T cells B cells Cytotoxic T cells
