- Dendritic cell are immune system cells whose function is to identify cancer cells, and pathogens like viruses, bad bacteria and fungus, so the the immune system T cells can then kill them. If a cancer cell is not identified by a dendritic cell, the T cells won't know it needs to be killed.

Lymphocyte T cells (Thymus cells) and B cells (bone cells). The function of T cells and B cells is to recognize specific non-self antigens, during a process known as antigen presenta … tion.Once they have identified an invader, the cells generate specific responses that are tailored to maximally eliminate specific pathogens or pathogen infected cells.n response to pathogens some T cells, called T helper cells, produce cytokines that direct the immune response while other T cells, called cytotoxic T cells, produce toxic granules that contain powerful enzymes which induce the death of pathogen infected cells.

Which of the following cell types is specifically responsible for humoral immunity? Defends against: free bacteria and viruses. Cell-mediated Immunity: defense activities are carried out by specialized cells circulating around the body. Defends against: host cells infected with bacteria and viruses, fungi and protozoans, tissue transplants, own cancer cells.

Does the immune system protect against cancer? That's because cancer cells are essentially modified self cells. That means the immune system usually doesn't recognize them as harmful. The immune response is triggered only in certain types of cancer -- when cancer cells become so highly abnormal that they are recognizable as nonself cells.

Immune system The idea that such a mechanism continues to function throughout life, weeding out newly arisen cancer cells, became popular in the 1950s and ’60s when a number of immunologists postulated immune surveillance, the theory that T-cell-mediated immunity evolved as a specific defense against cancer cells and that T cells constantly patrol the body, searching for abnormal body cells that carry antigens on their surface which are not found on healthy body cells.

Glossary of HIV/AIDS-related Terms: The second line of defense is nonspecific resistance that destroys invaders in a generalized way without targeting specific individuals: 1  Phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues. For example macrophages are cells derived from monocytes (a type of white blood cell).

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND IMMUNITY. Immunity is the body's capability to repel foreign substances and cells. The nonspecific responses are the first line of defense. Highly specific responses are the second line of defense and are tailored to an individual threat. The immune response includes both specific and nonspecific components.

As central players of the innate immune system, natural killer (NK) cells can exert direct and indirect anti-tumor effects via their cytotoxic and immune regulatory capacities, pivotal in the induction of an effective adaptive anti-tumor immune response.

Interferon Interferons do not directly kill viral or cancerous cells; they boost the immune system response and reduce the growth of cancer cells by regulating the action of several genes that control the secretion of numerous cellular proteins that affect growth.

Helper T Cell's Effect Raises Possibility Of Cellular Therapy, Vaccine Development FULL STORY. A specific type of T helper cell awakens the immune system to the stealthy threat of cancer and triggers an attack of killer T cells custom-made to destroy the tumors, scientists from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the early online edition of the journal Immunity.

Immune Cells T cells have a variety of roles and are classified by subsets. T cells are divided into two broad categories: CD8+ T cells or CD4+ T cells, based on which protein is present on the cell's surface. T cells carry out multiple functions, including killing infected cells and activating or recruiting other immune cells.heir coordinated movement and exchange of signals then instructs other innate immune cells called macrophages and monocytes (in green) to surround the neutrophil cluster and form a tight wound seal. This 24-second video represents a two-hour recording.

- 2) The second line includes the inflammatory response, natural killer cells, macrophages, and fever. This level of defense is also considered non-specific. 3) The third line includes the two specific defenses-your humoral or antibody mediated immune response and your cell mediated immune response. In both cases your body is responding to a particular antigen or infectious agent.

What are the body nonspecific defense? It is non-specific and is a barrier to the outside world. Your body has various non-specific defenses to path … ogens such as bacteria and viruses. But overall the non-specific defense system is made up of skin, epithelial tissue, and mucous membranes which are always on and preventing pathogenic attacks so to speak.And then you have preventative measures in your blood and in your body.he main non-specific defenses consist of: Lysozymes-such as teardrops which attack bacterial cell walls causing the cell to burst or lyse. Ciliated Epithelia-which are hairlike fibers that can catch pathogens and dispose of them.

Lymphocyte NK cells are a part of the innate immune system and play a major role in defending the host from both tumors and virally infected cells. NK cells distinguish infected cells and tumors from normal and uninfected cells by recognizing changes of a surface molecule called MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class I.

Learning About The Immune System Neutrophils—. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of WBC and are the first immune system cells to rush to the site of an infection. Neutrophils are known as phagocytes, or cell eaters, because they engulf foreign organisms and use prepackaged chemicals to destroy them.

The Immune System -- An Overview The immune system is composed of many interdependent cell types that collectively protect the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal, viral infections and from the growth of tumor cells. Many of these cell types have specialized functions.he cells of the immune system can engulf bacteria, kill parasites or tumor cells, or kill viral-infected cells. Often, these cells depend on the T helper subset for activation signals in the form of secretions formally known as cytokines, lymphokines, or more specifically interleukins.
