Account Options. Patents. A portable water purification system has a prefiler, a pumping unit, a reverse osmosis unit, a microbial control unit and a post filter for removing nuclear, biological, chemical and other contaminants from a water source.
1. T-cells mature (develop immunocompetence) in thymus 2. B-cells mature in bone marrow 3. Immunocompetent lymphocytes have unique receptors, committing them to binding with a specific antigen (all 10,000 + receptors are the same) 4. Lymphocytes become immunocompetent before exposure to antigens a.ingle antigen can mobilize many lymphocytes, stimulate production of many antibodies 3. Self-antigens-our cells would be antigens to someone else a. MHC proteins (Major Histocompatibility Complex) on cell surface b. MHC proteins bind to antigens in infected cells.
The mature lymphocytes from primary lymphoid organs migrate to secondary lymphoid regions through blood circulation to give protection from invading foreign agents. The secondary lymphoid organs are the regions, where the immune competent lymphocytes interact with foreign agents and execute immune response. Production of antibodies from activated B cells, activation of cytotoxic T cells in response to antigens takes place in the secondary lymphoid organs.
