Concept explainers
Introduction:
B cells or B lymphocytes are produced and matured in the red bone marrow and secrete antibodies. B cells have receptors for recognition of antigens and activate antibody response. They act against extracellular pathogens and involved in the humoral immune response.
T cells or T lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow and matured in the thymus. T cells play a crucial function in the cell-mediated immunity. T cells act against intracellular pathogens (for example, viruses) or antigens and they activate the cell-mediated immune response. T cells are classified into three classes (cytotoxic T cells, helper T cells, and regulatory T cells) according to surface molecules and functions.

Note: This is a multiple question, choose the correct answer below: secretion of interferons The arrival of neutrophils in an area of injury a macrophage phagocytizing a bacterium an antibody that neutralizes an antigen secretion of interferons The arrival of neutrophils in an area of injury a macrophage phagocytizing a bacterium an antibody that neutralizes an antigenarrow_forwardImmunology This 29 year old Lab Tech is suffering from fever, persistent fatigue, and joint pain. He reported that a needle in a plastic garbage bag nicked his finger about 2 months ago. His physical examination was within normal limits. His laboratory data, however, revealed elevated liver serum enzyme levels and total bilirubin levels. Additional laboratory data included positive HBsAg and positive IgM anti-HBc. His IgM anti-HAV and anti-HCV tests were negative. 1. Does this patient have a form of infectious hepatitis? If so, what type? 2. Can any further tests be done to confirm the diagnosis? 3. What's the patient’s prognosis?arrow_forward
