The disease that is characterized by both B cell and T cell deficiencies is called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). This condition makes individuals highly susceptible to infections and requires specialized medical treatment such as bone marrow transplantation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the management of SCID.

What is the role of interleukin 2?

Interleukin-2 is a member of a large group of cytokines or growth factors with several roles. Some of the roles of Interleukin-2, or Thymocyte Stimulating Factor (also called: T-Cell Growth Factor), are: a) induces T-cell growth and proliferation; b) enhances natural killer cell activity; c) potentiates the release of gamma-interferon, B-cell growth factor, and B-cell differentiation factor; d) restores T-cell function in immunodeficiency disease states.Biotech Interleukin-2 drugs are indicated to cancer immunotherapy, T-cell deficiency, various infectious diseases, including AIDS, and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.


What T-cell causes the B-cell lymphocyte to multiply in response to an infection?

Helper T-cells, also known as CD4+ T-cells, are responsible for activating B-cells in response to an infection. Helper T-cells recognize antigens presented by B-cells and release cytokines that stimulate B-cell proliferation and antibody production. This interaction is important for the adaptive immune response to effectively combat infections.


Are Memory cells descendants of an activated B or T cell?

Yes


How helper T cell stimulate an increase in the number of B cell?

Helper T cells release cytokines that activate B cells by binding to their surface receptors. This interaction stimulates B cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells, which produce antibodies. This process helps increase the number of B cells specific to a particular antigen and enhances the immune response.


When a B or T cell is primed by an interaction with its particular antigen the cell does what?

grows, divides, and differentiates further

What does the t mean in t cells?

Thymus Lymphocytes could be roughly divided into two categories. B cell and T cell. Though they both originate from the bone marrow, T cell migrate to the" thymus," where it reach maturity while B cell got mature in the bone. That is, T stands for thymus. However, B doesn't mean "bone" actually, for B cell was first discovered in the "bursa of Fabricius" in a bird.


What determines if a lymphocyte becomes a B cell or a T cell?

Where it is produced


A white blood cell necessary for B cells to develop normal levels of antibodies?

Well firstly an antigen presenting cell like dendritic cell or macrophage is needed. Secondly you also need a T cell that is complementary to the B cell. B cell will only become plasma cell when it receives the full signal 1. Stimuli: CD4 from T cell interacting with BcR/antigen complex on B cell 2. Co-stimuli: CD40L (CD154) on T cell interacting with CD40 on B cell This interaction allows T cell to secrete IL4, this binds to IL4R on B cell thus receive signal for proliferating and differentiating.
