44. Helper T Cells

45. Cytotoxic T Cells

46. Third line response Antigen Macrophage process antigen Secrete cytokines (interleukins or interferons) Stimulates T helper cells

47. Third line response Recognize antigens Antigen receptor on T-cells Bind to antigens Triggers T-cytotoxic cells, T-memory cells Cytotoxic cells destroy infected cells Stimulates B cells

48. Third line response Antigen receptor on B-cell Binds foreign antigen Triggers formation of a clone of plasma cells Clones produce antibodies Antibodies bind invading antigen Prevent affects of antigen Destruction or blocks effect
