- Clinical Application: Immune System and Autoimmunity Disease Lymphocytes may be involved in two major types of responses to the presence of potentially threatening foreign substances. In anti- body-mediated immunity, B lymphocytes may produce antibodies that react with specific antigens on an invading cell or molecule. In cell-mediated immunity, T lymphocytes secrete lymphokines that signal other immune responses and often destroy antigen- containing cells directly. The antibody-antigen reactions associated with immune responses have been used by clinical biologists for years. Several examples are given. Think about each example and answer the questions.  1. Biologists often use antibodies to test for the presence of certain antigens in a particular substance.

For each antigen listed, indicate the substance tested (e.g., blood, urine) and give a brief summary of the…arrow_forwardExplain the "antigen recognition by cells of adaptive immunity" in a simple way. Relate it with Class I,II,III MHC molecules/genes.
