Summary Introduction
To review:
The indispensable role of T-cells (lymphocytes maturing in thymus) in adaptive immunity.
Introduction:
The adaptive immune system has two arms: humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity. The humoral immunity is controlled by B cells (lymphocytes maturing in the bone marrow), whereas cell-mediated responses are controlled by T cells. Besides that helper T cells (Th Cells) play an indispensable role in adaptive immune responses by activating other cells belonging to the adaptive immune system.

Although the immune system has two arms, it has been said, “No T cells, no immunity.” How is this so?
Although the adaptive immune system has two arms, it has been said, “no T cells, no immunity.” Explain.
A man gets bitten by a rattle snake. The man is rushed to the hospital and they administer to him
anti-rattle snake venom. The anti-rattle snake venom is horse antibodies that were raised against
rattle snake venom, and it provides immunity against rattle snake venom. Based on what you
studied in the lecture: A) what is the type of immunity that antivenom provides? B) Are the
antibodies part of the innate or the adaptive immune responses? C) From what you have learned
about the properties of antibodies, can this horse anti-rattle snake venom be used as anti-venom to
Cobra snake venom? Explain briefly. D) Six months after this incident, the same person got bitten
again by a rattle snake. However, at the hospital the doctors were informed that he was previously
given horse anti-venom and so they decided that this person cannot be injected again with horse
anti-venom, and they had to find an anti-venom not prepared in horse. Explain briefly why he
cannot get any horse anti-venom again,…

- The immune system involves both the humoral and cell-mediated branches. It is known that T cells can perform a range of different functions once selected by antigen encounter, including secretion of soluble compounds to aid other white blood cells, such as B lymphocytes. If T cells can aid the function of B lymohocytes, then is it incorrect to say that both branches of the immune system (humoral and cell-mediated) involves B cells? I ask this question because I commonly hear that humoral immunity involves B cells rather than both branches.arrow_forwardWhat type(s) of biological molecule(s) are the best at inducing immune responses?
