Release substances that activate B lymphocytes and T killer cells
T helper cell
1 of 15
Attach to and kill cells affected with a virus
T killer cell
2 of 15
Suppress the immune response from other white blood cells to stop them attacking the host's body cells
T regulator cells
3 of 15
molecules in the blood which attach to foreign antigens so they can aid phagocytosis
Opsonins
4 of 15
A substance causing particles to clump together
Agglutinin
5 of 15
Bind to toxins produced by pathogens to neutralise them and stop them affecting human cells
Anti-toxins
6 of 15
Type of white blood cell found in tissues that carry out the non-specific immune response
Phagocytes
7 of 15

Protein that binds to an antigen
Antibody
13 of 15
Molecule found on the surface of a cell, a foreign one triggers an immune response
Antigen
