|
|
Term
|
Definition
Derived from bone marrow stem cells, matures into an immunologically competent cell under the influence of the thymus. T cells are involved in a variety of cell-mediated immune reactions and support B cell growth and development. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a type of pattern recognition receptor on phagocytes such as macrophages that triggers the proper response to different classes of pathogens. It signals the production of transcription factor NFkB, which stimulates formation of cytokines, chemokines, and other defense molecules. |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
mature in the thymus. differentiate into Memory T cells, T-helper cells and Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. T-helpers: enhance or suppress immune cell actions. Lymphocyte: have lytic enzymes and proteins that kill altered or infected cells. |
