- Humoral Response
- B Cells are covered with antibodies and so are specific to certain antigens.
- When the B Cell is activated (joins to its antigen) It divides to produce plasma cells (memory cells).
- Cell mediated response
- T Cells are a type of White Blood Cell. It has proteins on its surface that bind to the antigens presented to it by phagocytes.
- Some T Cells release substances to activate B Cells, some attach to antigens on a pathogen and kill the cell.
- Monoclonal Antibodies are antibodies produced from a single group of genetically identical B Cells.
