6 Questions
Which cells must come together in lymphoid organs to stimulate an antibody response to a protein antigen?
B lymphocytes and helper T lymphocytes
How long does it typically take for protein antigens to elicit antibody responses after antigen exposure?
3 to 7 days
Why is it rare for naive B and T lymphocytes specific for any one antigen to find each other?
They are too few in number
Where do naive CD4+ T cells get activated?
In the T cell zone of a secondary lymphoid organ
Where do naive B cells get activated?
In the follicles of a secondary lymphoid organ
Where do the initial antibody responses develop?
In the edges of the follicles of a secondary lymphoid organ
