What are T-Cell and B-Cell antigen recognition and their eventual effector responsibilities, such as Cytotoxic T-Cells and Humoral Immunity via Plasma cells producing antibodies? Please give as much detail as possible. Thank you.

Step 1
Antigen recognition: T-cells and B-cells are two types of immune cells that recognize and respond to antigens, which are foreign substances that enter the body. T-cells recognize antigens that are presented on the surface of infected or abnormal cells, while Show more…

Explain in detail the role of helper T cells (TH). NOTE: Without these, there is no Adaptive Immune Response. Think AIDS patients. Discuss in detail the role of cytotoxic T cells (TC). Antibodies are also known by two other names. What are these two names? The Antibody-Mediated Immune Response has three phases: a. Briefly explain the three steps involved in B Cell Maturation. b. The B Cells divide repeatedly and the resulting cells differentiate into Plasma Cells and Memory Cells. What are the functions of these cells? c. Phase two involves Antibodies and their effects. What is serology, serum, antiserum?

B cells have antibodies that directly recognize pathogens, while T cells recognize antigen presented at the surface of cells. Briefly explain why, evolutionarily, you need both T and B cells.
