Characteristics of
Secondary Response
13
1. First response to an antigen – 5. Cytokines trigger
recognized by host B cells. proliferating B cells to
2. B cells divide to form plasma cells – switch from making plasma
begin to synthesize antibodies cells that produce IgG.
Secondary Response
7. B cells formed memory cells persist in lymphoid
tissues. They do not participate in initial response,
but they retain their ability to recognize a particular
antigen.
8. When an antigen recognized by memory cells
enters the blood, secondary response occurs.
9. Secondary response react much faster. IgM
(smaller quantities and short period) is produced
before IgG (followed sooner after IgM and in large
quantities)

T Lymphocytes Antigen Recognition and Response
• Two major function of T cell populations
• Cytotoxic T cells
• Proliferate and differentiate to destroy infected or
cancerous “self” cells
• Have CD8 marker
• Recognize MHC class I (endogenous antigens)
• Helper T cells
• Multiply and develop into cells that activate B cells
and macrophages
• Stimulate other T cells; orchestrate immune response
• Have CD4 marker
• Recognize antigen display by MHC class II
(exogenous antigens)

Activation of T Cells
Ø Dendritic cells – play crucial role in T-cell activation.
Ø Immature dendritic cells – in peripheral tissues
(beneath the skin) – gather various materials from skin
by phagocytosis and pinocytosis
Ø Dendritic cells – located below mucous membrane –
use tentacle-like projections – send between the
epithelial cells – able to sample materials from the
lumen and intestine.
Ø Dendritic cells travel to secondary lymphoid organ –
mature to a form able to present Ag to naïve T cells.
Ø Upon activation, T cells produce cytokine that
stimulates T-cell growth (IL-2). T cells also produce
adhesion molecules when activated. Acquire their
effector functions.

Notes:
Cytokines are produced by a broad range of cells, including
macrophages, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and mast
cells, as well as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and various
stromal cells; a cytokine may be produced by more than
one type of cell
