Cellmediated immunity is an immune response that does not involve antibodies. The precursors of tlymphocytes produced by stem cells of bone marrow pass through liver and spleen before reaching the thymus where. The following chain of events describes this immune response.
It is the immune systems job to recognize these agents as foreign and destroy them. T cells mediate three principal functions help, suppression and cytotoxity. Cellmediated immunity is an immune response that does not involve antibodies or complement but rather involves the activation of macrophages, natural killer cells nk, antigenspecific cytotoxic t lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen. Microbial substances induce costimulatory activity in macrophages. There are two major classes of lymphocytes involved with specific defenses.

Rather, cell mediated immunity is the activation of phagocytes, antigenspecific cytotoxic tlymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to antigen. We will also briefly cover natural killer nk cells, which are effector cells of the innate immune system that share many properties with a one type of effector t cell. Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools.
In some circumstances the immune response can become so polarized that pathogen cannot be eliminated. Immunity involving cells, such as t cells and phagocytes, in contrast with humoral immunity, which involves soluble proteins. Anatomical localization of lymphocytes is determined by exposure to antigen. The balance between th1 and th2 activity steers the immune response in the direction of cell mediated or humoral immunity.
