Understanding Immunity: Humoral vs. Cell-Mediated Responses

Dive into the levels of immune response, exploring humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Learn about antigens, immune cells, immunoglobulins, and the intricate interactions that shape our body's defenses. Discover the differences between battling bacteria and viruses, and witness the orchestration of T cells in defending against infections.

  8. HUMORAL IMMUNITY B cells – develop in bone marrow – blood, lymph, lymph nodes Primary follicle with resting B lymphocytes Antigen-presenting cell – lymph node – interaction with T helper cells INTERACTIONOF T HELPERCELLANDRESTING B LYMPHOCYTES Secondary follicle with activated B lymphocytes Plasma cells Memory B cells Secrete immunoglobulins Circulate

  9. IMMUNOGLOBULINS • Fiveclasses – IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM • Lymphnode – circulation – inflamedtissue – recognitionof antigen – activationofcomplementsystem Opsonizing antigen Enhancinginflammation
