AB
white blood cellsleukocytes: B cells, Th, Tc cells, & phagocytes
mast cellshistamine releasing cells
red blood cellserythrocytes that carry O2 & CO2
Th cellshelper t cells; CD4 R bearing; initiate aquired immunity
natural killer cellsinduce apoptosis in cells w/ membranes showing viral infectn or cancer
Tc cellscytotoxic T cells; release molecule perforin that causes lyses infected cells bearing antigen matching Tc's R
B cellscells w/ bound antibody (B cell R) who present ag OR secrete cleaved R (antibodies) to blood
memory cellsTh, B, & Tc cells that surviv years in lymph nodes to be activated only if their specific antigen invades again
antigen presenting cellscells phagocytizing & presenting antigen on MHCII R's to Th w/ Th R binding same antigen
