To discuss:
How an immunocompetent B cell responds when it encounters a foreign antigen; the roles of MHC-II proteins and a TH cell in its response.
Introduction:
For all living organisms, there is a challenge for surviving by defeating the entire pathogenic organism. 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 that 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.

MHC Iarrow_forwardThe concept that antibody responses to a second immunization or infection with a pathogen is faster, but did not explain how that quick response is achieved. Using references to specific proteins, explain why that secondary response can be faster than a primary response. Explain how they work and how they are related to the phenomenon.arrow_forward
