Lesson: Specific Immune Response: Cell Mediated Biology • Third Year of Secondary School

Students will be able to

• explain how T lymphocytes are activated by binding to complexes on the surfaces of macrophages,
• describe how T lymphocytes coordinate an immune response against virally infected or abnormal body cells,
• outline the role of suppressor (regulator) T cells in inhibiting the immune response at the end of an infection,
• compare cell-mediated immunity with humoral immunity and the nonspecific immune response.
