Specific Immune Response
Pathogen engulfed and partially digested by macrophages
Macrophage becomes antigen-presenting cell
Clonal selection to find correct T lymphocytes
Clonal expansion to reproduce T helper cells through mitosis
Release of cytokines (interleukins) to stimulate proliferation
Activation of B cells
Clonal expansion to reproduce B cells
Some differentiate to make plasma cells
Plasma cells manufacture antibodies
Some differentiate to make B memory cells
Memory cells circulate in body to provide immunological memory
B cells mature in bone marrow
T cells originate in bone marrow but mature in thymus gland
Clonal expansion to reproduce T killer cells
T killer cells search for infected cells
T killer cells attach to infected cells
T killer cells secrete toxic substances (hydrogen peroxide) into infected cells to kill cells and pathogens inside it
