To discuss:
The life history of T cells, including their origin, migration to the thymus, the sites, processes, and purposes of positive and negative selection, and dispersal of the native lymphocyte pool.
Introduction:
For all living organisms, it is a challenge to defeat the entire pathogenic organism, for survival. The human body kills the pathogen or eliminates the foreign particles by an organized system called the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system or immune system consists of a group of cells or immune cells which inhabit all the organs of the body. The lymphatic system includes lymphatic organs and a group of lymphatic tissues that are involved in the immune system.

- The significance that CAR T- cell therapy have on patience with tumoursarrow_forwardA cytolytic group of lymphocytes that directly destroy some "foreign" human cells, e.g., certain cancer cells and virus-infected cells, by detecting the absence of MHC-I molecules. They also bind to the Fc portion of IgG during ADCC. naïve T4-lymphocytes cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLS) cytokines NK cells O dendritic cellsarrow_forwardAn _________ immune system response to an immediate, non specific maximal response.

- Mature T-lymphocytes that have completed their “training” accumulate in which of the following organs where they play a central role in the adaptive immune response thymus lymph nodes appendix bone marrowarrow_forwardTrue/False: B-cell receptors and T-cell receptors share a mechanism for generating diversity, and also share overall structural homology both in their V domains and their C domains. This is because the two proteins have nearly identical functions in the immune responses mediated by their respective cell types.arrow_forwardMature B cells in the periphery may be made tolerant (unresponsive) by - The lack of co-stimulatory signals when they recognize self antigen Complement-mediated lysis of B cells Destruction by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) macrophage- mediated lysisarrow_forward
- True/False: Dendritic cells are tissue resident myeloid cells that are highly phagocytic, like macrophages. However, dendritic cells do not play a major role in large-scale pathogen destruction; instead, they are important in initiating adaptive immune responses of T cells.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct about the development of T cells? O After many cell generations, some of the CD8+ T cells differentiate into at least six functional phenotypes. - T cells differentiate into progenitor cells destined to become (1) natural T regulatory (Treg) cells, (2) natural killer T (NKT) cells, (3) gamma/delta T cells, and (4) alpha/beta T cells. Activation by its specific antigen causes a T helper cell (TH) cell to mature into a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) that functions to destroy host cells that have been infected by intracellular pathogens, such as a virus, or have altered MHC surface proteins. T cells originate from CD34+ stem cells in the bone marrow, where they also mature.arrow_forwardto contrast the difference between the adaptive and innate immune system.
