Study Notes
Immunity and White Blood Cells
- Acquired immunity is acquired later in life.
- Phagocytosis is carried out by a type of white blood cell called neutrophils.
- Natural killer cells (NK cells) destroy cells with a lower expression of MHC-1, such as tumors or virus-infected cells.
- Cell-mediated immunity is mediated by T-lymphocytes (T-cells).
- There are two main types of acquired immunity: active and passive immunity.
- Natural killer cells (NK cells) are responsible for destroying cells that have a lower expression of MHC-1.
- Lymphocytes (B-cells and T-cells) are not involved in phagocytosis.
- B-lymphocytes (B-cells) are responsible for secreting antibodies.
- Innate immunity is resistance that the skin has to infection.
- Humoral immunity is mediated by antibodies secreted by B-lymphocytes.
