Document Summary

Memory stronger and faster response in second infection of a particular pathogen. Lymphocytes b cells and t cells, both formed in bone marrow, t cells mature further in thymus gland, found in blood, lymph, and lymphoid tissues. B cells make antibodies, humoral (antibody-mediated) response. T cells do not make antibodies, exert effects on cells, cell-mediated response. Closed ended vessels, lymph nodes in main junction points. B and t cells patrol through this system and through blood and are in high concentrations in lymphatic nodes. Millions of inactive b cells circulate body. Recognition uses special protein molecules called antibodies (immunoglobulins) Each b cells has a slightly different antibody on its surface (antibodies at this stage are membrane proteins) Variable region is consistent within b-cell but differs between them. An antigen is any molecule that can be recognised by a lymphocyte (toxins secreted by bacteria, cell-surface molecules on bacteria or protists)
