| Parts of Cellular Immune Response | Requires MHC atigens Requires antigen-presenting cell (Macrophages) |
| B Cell activation | B cells combine with antigen or macrophage that displays a digested antigen on its surface, helper T cells contact the displayed antigen |
| T Cell activation | T cell combines with B cell combined with the antignen, Helper T cell releases cytokines. |
| B cell proliferation | occurs after activation, and B cells proliferate rapidly. |
| B Cell Differentiation | During differentiation, some B cells become plasma cells and release many antibodies, some B cells go dormant until a reinfection. |
| Strength of secondary immune response | Stronger than primary immune response, due to memory B cells and memory T Cells |
| Antibody production, localized changes after antibody action, and where antibodies are found | Antibody production: B Cells (Plasma Cells Localized changes: inflammation, edema, antibody production, vasodilation Antibodies found- plasma, tissue fluids, exocrine secretions, surfaces of B cells |
| Autoimmunity | Inability of T Cells to distinguish self from non self antigens |
