Term
Where is the effectiveness of cellular immunity?
Definition
  1. Intracellular
  2. Bacteria
  3. Viruses
  4. Fungi
  5. Protozoa
  6. Tumor cells
  7. Transplanted cells
Term
What are the three types of T lymphocytes produced in the cellular immunity?
Definition
  1. TH - Helper, has CD4 marker
  2. TS - Surpressor
  3. TC - Cytotoxic, has T8 and CD8 markers
Term
What are the steps to recognition of T lymphocytes?
Definition
  1. Ag binds to the APC (Antigen Presenting Cell)
  2. APC specifically binds to TCR (T Cell Receptor)
  3. APC release cytokines to recognize TCR and BCR
Term
What is the process of activation for the T lymphocytes?
Definition
  1. Cloning expansion of T cells.
  2. Differentiation to TH (memory and effector) and TC (memory and effectory) cells.
Term
What is the response of the activated T cell lymphocytes?
Definition
  1. Cytotoxicity - TC directly destroys cells by lysis.
  2. Immunoregulation - TH regulate IR.
