Question:
Phagocytes and lymphocytes are both present in samples of blood.
a. Describe how the structure of a phagocyte differs from the structure of a lymphocyte.
T-lymphocytes are involved in immune responses to pathogens that invade the body. Immune responses involve the following:
• Antigen presentation
• Clonal selection
• Clonal expansion.
Certain groups of T-lymphocytes are activated when the body is infected with the measles virus.
b. Using the information above, describe what happens to T-lymphocytes during an immune response to measles.
c. State how the response of B-lymphocytes during an immune response is different to the response of T-lymphocytes.
