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


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

grows, divides, and differentiates further


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.
