What are the 4 steps of humoral immunity? |
1. Antigens bind to B cells. 2. Interleukins or helper T cells signal B cells. In most cases, both an antigen and a costimulator are required to activate a B cell and initiate B cell proliferation. 3. B cells multiply and produce plasma cells. The plasma cells bear antibodies with the identical antigen specificity as the antigen receptors of the activated B cells. The antibodies are released and circulate through the body, binding to antigens. 4. B cells produce memory cells. Memory cells provide future immunity. |

What are the 4 steps of cell-mediated immunity? |
1. Macrophage displaying epitope bind to T cells (from thymus). 2. Interleukins (macrophage or helper T ) signal activation of T cells. 3. If MHC‐I and endogenous antigens are displayed on the plasma membrane = T cells multiply, producing cytotoxic T cells. Cytotoxic T cells destroy cells displaying the antigens. 4. If MHC‐II and exogenous antigens are displayed on the plasmas membrane = T cells multiply, producing helper T cells. Helper T cells release interleukins (and other cytokines), which stimulate B cells to produce antibodies that bind to the antigens and stimulate nonspecific agents (NK and macrophages) to destroy the antigens. |
