Cellular Immunity System
This type of immunity involves T-cells recognizing and attacking infected cells.
cellular immunity
The differentiation of T-lymphocytes that does not require the presence of specific antigens is called this.
antigen-independent differentiation
These T-lymphocytes are responsible for killing infected or cancerous cells.
cytotoxic T cells
This term refers to the immune system’s ability to not attack the body’s own cells.
immunological tolerance
These molecules act as messengers in the immune system, helping to regulate immune responses.
cytokines
The primary organ where T-lymphocytes mature.
thymus
The differentiation of T-lymphocytes that occurs after encountering a specific antigen.
antigen-dependent differentiation
This Indian spice, known for its yellow color, is often used in cooking and is believed to have strong anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects.
turmeric (haldi)
What is immunological tolerance?
The failure of this system leads to autoimmune diseases.
These T-cells help in the regulation of the immune response, particularly in preventing autoimmune diseases.
regulatory T cells (Tregs)
This popular Indian drink made from yogurt and spices is believed to help with digestion and boost immunity.
lassi
T-lymphocytes differentiate into these types after exposure to an antigen.
cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells
These T-lymphocytes help coordinate the immune response by releasing cytokines.
helper T cells
What is central tolerance?
This type of tolerance occurs when T-cells are educated to avoid attacking self-antigens during their maturation.
This traditional Indian herb, often used in chai, is known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
ginger (adrak)
This term refers to the ability of T-cells to recognize and destroy cells infected by viruses or transformed by cancer.
cytotoxicity
This surface protein is expressed on naive T-cells and is required for their activation by antigen-presenting cells.
CD28
These T-cells suppress immune responses to prevent autoimmune reactions.
regulatory T cells
This type of tolerance occurs when peripheral T-cells become tolerant to self-antigens in the body’s tissues.
peripheral tolerance
These cytokines are primarily involved in the inflammatory response and can promote fever.
interleukins
This molecule is expressed on the surface of T-cells and is involved in recognizing antigens presented by MHC molecules.
T-cell receptor (TCR)
After activation, T-lymphocytes differentiate into these specific subtypes, depending on the cytokine environment.
Th1, Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cells
These T-cells are involved in tissue repair and modulation of the immune response through their secretion of cytokines.
Th2 cells
What is immune dysregulation?
The breakdown of this tolerance can result in the body attacking its own tissues, leading to autoimmune diseases.
This cytokine is crucial for activating macrophages and promoting the differentiation of Th1 cells.
interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)?
