Blood Review
Type of cell Function Location
Macrophage Ingests pathogens Spleen, lungs, blood
Neutrophil Engulfs / destroys pathogens Bloodstream
Natural killer cell
Punctures infected cells Infected cells
Helper T cell Activates B cells and Cytotoxic T cells
Bloodstream
Cytotoxic T cell
Punctures infected cells Infection sites
B cell Forms plasma cells Infection sites
Plasma cell Releases antibodies Bloodstream
Memory cell Protects against defeated pathogens
Bloodstream
Immune response steps…1. Antigen triggers IR2. Macrophage “swallows”
pathogen3. Helper T and B cells
activated4. Antibodies bind to antigen
marking cell for destruction5. Cytotoxic T destroys marked
cells

How do vaccines work? Immune system exposed to
weakened or harmless version of pathogen
Antibody production stimulated prior to actual exposure
