1. Detecting ‘self’ and ‘non self’ molecules: the role of antigens and the membrane receptors. Class I MHC molecules | Class II MHC molecules | * Are found on almost all nucleated cells of the body (so are not on red blood cells) * Body Cells that have become infected or become cancerous can display antigens by using their Class I MHC molecules on their cell surface * These antigens that get displayed were made inside these cells * Cytotoxic T cells will recognise antigens displayed

Lindsay Turner 4/20/01 White Blood Cells Bacteria exist everywhere in the environment and have continuous access to the body through the mouth‚ nose and pores of skin. Further more‚ many cells age and die daily and their remains must be removed‚ this is where the white blood cell plays its role. According to this quotation‚ without white blood cells‚ also known as leukocytes‚ we would not be able to survive. White blood cells are our body ’s number one defense against infections. They

How does stress affect the immune system The immune system is designed to defend the body against millions of antigens that would otherwise invade it. None of these things are able to get in when your immune system is working efficiently‚ but the moment your immune system stops functioning properly‚ the opportunity for antigens to attack is available. Kiecolt-Glaser (1984) carried out a natural experiment investigating whether the stress of short-term stressors had an effect on immune system functioning

system also takes part in returning plasma proteins to the bloodstream. The antibodies which are made in the lymph nodes help the body to build an effective immunity to infectious diseases. The lymph nodes are involved in defending mechanisms of the body by removing bacteria and toxins. Lymph nodes are very small organs that you can find within the body; they are the site of filtration of the lymph fluid and also activate
