Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.34AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The three types of the T cells produced in the cell-mediated immune response and the functions of each has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Immune response is the defensive mechanism which depends on the recognition of specific antigens such as viruses, bacteria, toxic substances and infected cells which is either cell mediated or antibody-mediated.
Cell mediated immune response:
- This response is under the control of T lymphocytes or T cells.
- It guards against bacteria or viruses entering the normal cells
- It guards against the invasion of some cancer cells
- Killer T cells, helper T cells and memory T cells are the three types of T cells produced.

In the antibody-mediated immune response, the binding of some antigen-presenting B
cells to helper T cells initiates a signal transduction pathway that transforms the B cells into
plasma cells, which will synthesize and secrete large quantities of antibodies-a specialized
subset of proteins responsible for attaching to the antigen on the outer surface of
pathogens.
Which of the following describes the most relevant intracellular change to B cells as they
are transformed into plasma cells?
A
B
a breakdown of some membrane-bound proteins to allow synthesized antibodies to
more readily diffuse across the membrane of the plasma cell
с
an increase in the surface area of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in order to allow the
binding of a large number of ribosomes for antibody synthesis
D
an increase in the number of lysosomes in order to facilitate the storage of synthesized
antibodies ahead of their transport out of the cell
an increase in the volume of the mitochondria in order to increase…
