Explain the difference between: clonal deletion and clonal selection; a natural killer cell and a cytotoxic T cell; antibodies and antigens; cell-mediated and humoral immunity; an autoimmune disorder and an immunodeficiency.
What is clonal deletion? How is clonal deletion hypothesized to be related to autoimmune disease? How is clonal deletion different from clonal selection? Describe the process of clonal selection of B cells, that is, in general terms, what happens when a B cell is stimulated by the "right" antigen. What is the function of the T-helper cell, the APC, and the B cell? Include what a plasma cell is and what a memory cell is in your explanation.
