35
Which Class of lymphocyte is this? | -Recognize -> peptide antigens displayed by MHC molecules on the surfaces of antigen-presenting cells.

36
Which Class of lymphocyte is this? -Recognize -> peptide antigens presented by MHCs molecules on infected cells. (intracellular microbes)
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes
37
What is the effector function for a B lymphocyte?
antibodies neutralize, prevent infection, lead to elimination of microbes and activate compliment.
38
What is the effector function for Helper T lymphocytes?
secrete cytokines, which stimulate different mechanisms of immunity and inflammation.
39
What is the effector function for CTLs?
direct killing of infected cell
40
What is the effector function for Regulatory T cells?
suppresses activation or effector function of lymphocytes, specifically those who react to self-antigen.
41
Which class of lymphocytes main tolerance to self-antigens?
regulatory T cells
42
Which class of lymphocytes recognizes changes on the surface of infected cells?
Natural killer cells
43
What is the effector function of natural killer cells?
Capable of rapidly attacking infected host cells as components of innate immunity, but do not express specific antigen receptors like B and T cells.
44
Which 2 classes of lymphocytes have the same mechanism of killing?
Cytotoxic T cells and Natural Killer Cells
45
Lymphocytes develop from precursors in what organs?
bone marrow and thymus
46
What does a lymphocyte need to be functional?
an antigen receptor
47
What happens to mature lymphocytes if they aren't activated by an antigen?
Since they are naive, they die.
48
What are the effector cells of the CD8+ lineage?
CTLs
49
What happens to effector cells after they selimate the antigen?
they die
50
What do mature B cells have on the surface?

51
many naive b cells have low affinity for what?
antigen
52
What have the highest affinity antigen receptor?
Memory B-cells
53
When activated, what do mature B cells exhibit? What happens?
Class switch recombination; can change its class by changing its heavy chain which changes the type of antibody but doesn't change specificity of the antigen
54
This type of cell doesn't leave the spleen/lymph bodes
