White blood cells that provide either innate or specific adaptive immunity. Myeloid Cells: First line of defense, non-specific innate immunity â¢ Neutrophils â¢ Eosinophils â¢ Basophils/Mast cells â¢ Monocytes/Macrophages/Dendritic Cells Lymphoid Cells: non-specific immunity â¢ Natural Killer Cells Lymphoid Cells: Humoral and Cell Mediated specific immunity â¢ B Lymphocytes
The many resulting T cells can then stimulate other T cells to attack the foreign pathogen, or they can stimulate B cells to produce antibodies. These antibodies, along with other cells in the immune system, then destroy the foreign invaders, helping to ensure the health of the individual.he macrophage is just one cell type that may present antigens in the MHCII complex; other cells, including B cells and dendritic cells, may also act as antigen-presenting cells (APC). Only a few helper T cells in the immune system will recognize the specific antigen presented by the APC.
