Question

Chapter 17 Microbiology

The cellular immune response can seem a bit more complex than the humoral response because there are more cell types involved and more than one outcome for many of these cell types. Let’s focus on the different T cell subtypes and their role in the cell-mediated response.

Explanation / Answer

Q) The correct statements are :-

The cellular immune response is mediated by T cells.

T-cells like B-cells are specific for a particular antigen.

The recognition of antigens by T cell requires that an antigen presenting cell (APC) first process them.

Explanation-  antigen-presenting cell (APC) or accessory cell are the cells that are antigen combined with major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) on their surfaces, this process is known as antigen presentation. T cells recognize these complexes by T cell receptors (TCRs). These cells process the antigens and present them to T-cells.

CD8+ T cells are cytotoxic cells that bind to MHC class-1 molecules and can differentiate into an effector cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL).

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) can use perforin, a pore forming protein to kill self cells that have been altered by infection with a pathogen.

The in-correct statements are as below:-

T helper cells help in both humoral and cellular immune response.

Explanation- T cells helps in humoral immune response in which antibodies produced by B cells destroy the extracellular microorganisms and prevent the spread of intracellular infections. The activation of B cells and their differentiation into antibody-secreting plasma cells is triggered by antigen and requires helper T cells.

Cell mediated response functions to target and effectively remove freely circulating pathogens , where antibodies can come in contact with them.

Explanation- cell mediated immune system do not involve antibodies, rather it takes the help of  activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.

T helper cells (TH) differentiate primarily into different subsets TH1, and TH 10 .

Explanation- T helper cells develop into TH1and TH2 also known as Type-I and Type-2 helper T cells .

T cells are classified by their clusters of differentiation (CD) which serve as receptors , the most important CD classes for cell mediated immunity are CD4 and CD6.

Explanation- T cells are classified by their clusters of differentiation (CD) which serve as receptors , the most important CD classes for cell mediated immunity are CD4 and CD8.

  CD4+ cells are helper cells that bind to the MHC class-II molecules in B cells and antigen presenting cells.
