LO2) Describe the structure and mode of action of phagocytes in the non-specific (innate) immune response, including neutrophils and antigen-presenting cells and the roles of cytokines, opsonins, phagosomes and lysosomes. LO3) Describe the structure, different roles and modes of action of T lymphocytes in the specific (adaptive) immune response, including clonal selection and clonal expansion, T helper cells, T killer cells, T regulatory cells and memory cells. LO4) Describe the structure, different roles and modes of action of B lymphocytes in the specific (adaptive) immune response, including plasma cells and memory cells. LO5) Explain the significance of cell signaling, with reference to interleukins. To accompany my “AS Immune System” Student Revision Booklet Pack (see other resources).
