Summary Introduction
Introduction:
In the multicellular organism, the immune system is mainly comprised of the cells known as white blood cells, which are also known as leucocytes. These cells are produced by the hemopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow which mainly function in attacking the foreign invaders, which harm the human body.

- Macrophage, dendritic cells, T-cells, and B-cells are all considered cells of the adaptive immune system. All these cells come in different varieties. Still there are some basic processes and interactions between them to generate the appropriate adaptive immune response and defeat the pathogen.

O 1) IgE binds to mast cells releasing cytokines 2) Antigen-antibody complexes (IgG, IgM and IgA) lodge in basement membranes of tissues, neutrophil degranulation damages the tissues O 3) T cells respond to the inappropriate cells 4) IgG and IgM bind to cells stimulating complement, triggering cell lysisarrow_forwardAll T cell types share the presence of: Select one: CD8 CD25 CD4 CD3arrow_forward
