Lesson: Specific Immune Response: Cell Mediated Biology

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe how T lymphocytes coordinate a response to virally infected and abnormal body cells, outline the role of suppressor T cells in the immune response, and compare cell-mediated immunity with other types of immune responses.

Lesson Plan

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.
