Part D - You explain that the following will happen first with a particular cell called the T cell when a virus enters the body and has passed the first line of defense: The T cells (derived in the bone marrow) will respond to the antigens presented by the MHC class II proteins of a dendritic cell. The T cells (thymus dependent cells) will respond to the antigens presented by the MHC class II proteins of a macrophage. The T cells (thymus dependent cells) will recognize the virus immediately and begin to destroy it through the release of lymphotoxin. The T cells (derived in the bone marrow) will respond to the antigens presented by the MHC class I proteins of an infected cell. The T cells (thymus dependent cells) will respond to the antigens presented by the MHC class I proteins of an infected cell.

This means that the T cells will recognize the antigens that the dendritic cell presents on its surface, indicating that it has encountered the virus. Show more…

A human body cell is invaded by a new virus that the body has never encountered before. The cell displays the virus's antigens on the cell's membrane. Which of the following best describes what happens next in the body's cell-mediated immune response sequence? Phagocytes recognize the antigen markings on the infected cell and insert antibodies to destroy the cell. Memory T cells quickly respond to the virus antigens on the cell by producing cytotoxic T cells. B lymphocytes insert into the infected cell and use antibodies to attack and destroy the virus. Helper T cells detect the virus antigens on the infected cell and activate cytotoxic T cells.

Helper T (T H) cells recognize antigens when they are bound to a(n) __________. MHC II surface protein natural killer cell MHC I surface protein antibody as opposed to a primary response a secondary response is higher and faster slower and smaller higher but slower fast and smaller B cells that activate during an initial immune response but remain dormant until being activated during a second exposure to an antigen are called monocytes. T cells. cytokines. macrophages. memory cells. Which of the following cells of the immune system are capable of phagocytosis? (choose all that apply) Dendritic cells Macrophages Natural Killer Cells Helper T cells Neutrophils A decrease in which lymphocytes would decrease response from all parts of an adaptive immune response? B lymphocytes cytotoxic T cells helper T cells plasma cells

You learned in the previous lesson that T cells require two independent signals to become activated. When T cells are activated, they acquire effector functions and begin to proliferate. This two-signal mechanism prevents the expansion of self-reactive effector T cells. Similarly, B cell receptor signaling alone is not sufficient to activate B cells. B cells require assistance from helper T cells to become activated by monovalent protein antigens and gain certain immune functions. What changes do you suspect will occur to B cells when they are activated by protein antigen and receive T cell help? (select all that apply) - They will generate memory cells that can respond to a subsequent exposure to antigen. - Their immunoglobulin genes will be mutated in a way that alters antigen affinity. - The isotype of their immunoglobulin (Ig) genes will change. - They will proliferate and expand. - They will secrete antibodies.
