HIDC 3: How Do We Treat Infectious Disease?

These proteins are made by B Cells and bind to antigens to tag them as an invader

• Antibodies

• Complements

• Cytokines

• Histomines

Structures that your immune system recognizes and activates specific lymphocytes that match them

• Antibodies

• Antigens

• Complements

• Neutrophils

These immune cells are largely responsible for creating antibodies

• T Lymphocytes

• B Lymphocytes

• Neutrophils

• Macrophages

These proteins create reactions like killing foreign cells, tagging foreign cells, and attracting phagocytes

• Antibodies

• Antigens

• Complements

• Interleukin

These proteins act as messengers for immune and other cells to regulate their response

• Cytokines

• Complements

• Antibodies

• Histomines

This type of white blood cells originate in the bone marrow

• Leukocytes

• Lymphocytes

• T Cells

• B Cells

This helps the body distinguish self from non-self and is used to determine compatibility for organ transplants

• Major Histocompatibility Complex

• Lymphatic System

• Immune Complex

• Complement System

These lymphocytes attack infected or abnormal body cells, rather than the foreign invader itself

• Natural Killer Cells

• Macrophages

• Neutrophils

• Mast Cells

These lymphocytes activate B cells and stimulate other immune cells like macrophages

• Killer T Cells

• Regulatory T Cells

• Helper T Cells

• Natural Killer Cells

These lymphocytes attach to infected cells and cancer cells to kill them

• Helper T Cells

• Killer T Cells

• Regulatory T Cells

• B Cells
