| Front | How does humoral immunity work? |
|---|---|
| Back | - specific B cell with complementary receptor binds to pathogen antigen - antigen enters cell by endocytosis - presented on cell membrane - specific helper T cell with complementary receptor binds to antigen - activates B cell - activated T cell releases cytokines - clonal selection - cytokines stimulate B cell to divide by mitosis, differentiating into plasma cells - cloned plasma cells secrete specific antibody complementary to pathogen - antibody attaches to antigens, destroys pathogen - some B cells differentiate into memory cells |
