Infected cells cancer cells o: transplanted non-self cells. Activated by contact with antigen presented by apcs: differentiate into. Goes to the site of infection and acts indirectly by making cytokines to help. Other immune cells destroy antigen or stay in the lymph node and help activate b cells. Memory helper t cells & memory cytotoxic t cells. Remain in body long term following antigen presentation by apcs. Provide a larger, faster cell mediated response to a particular ag upon re- exposure. Memory cells are the foundation of long-term immunity. B cells are activated to produce antibodies. Antibodies (abs) circulate throughout body to bind antigens. Specific immunity to antigen is developed-memory of antigen.
