How do T cells and B cells help build the body’s immunity to disease?
T cells and B cells are skin cells that secrete oils which kill pathogens as they come in contact with the body’s surface.
T cells and B cells attach themselves to antigens, gradually absorbing each antigen until it is no longer a threat to the body.
When a body is exposed to a certain pathogen, T cells and B cells remember that pathogen and produce antibodies to fight that pathogen.
Scientists extract T cells and B cells from a killed or weakened pathogen; when injected into a body, these cells trigger the body to make antigens for that pathogen.
Which of the following would most likely cause an immune deficiency disorder?
