Immune System: Humoral & Cell Mediated.
Storyboard Text
- I amMarcophage
- Macrophage encounters, eats a pathogen floating in the blood. It then presents an antigen sample from the pathogen.
- Antigen
- Hehe, Pathogen
- Hmph! Helper T, I got the antigen sample!!
- The helper T cell comes in and attaches itself to the macrophage. It then takes the antigen sample from the macrophage, and sends a response to the B cells such as memory B cells which recognize the type of pathogen from previous incidents, and they also alert T cells.
- Helper T Cell
- Ah fine. I'm here, I'll alert the others.
- Ah, I just helped Macro. I guess I'll help you too.
- Afterwards, instead of the B cell coming the Killer T cell comes.
- Helper T cell. I am the Killer T cell.
- INACTIVE
- The inactive Killer T cells enter and interact with the Helper T activating itself.
- Ok. Activation GO!!
- Ok Helper T, activate me.
- ACTIVE
- The Killer T creates clones of itself and memory cells. It then attaches itself to the cell preparing to shoot perforin at the infected cell. Perforin is a protein that is released from the killer cell to eliminate any pathogen in sight.
- Perforin: Ready, BLAST!!!
- Infected Cell
- Perforin
- Finally, it shoots the protein perforin at the cell unfortunately killing the cell but it also eliminates the pathogens that had infected the cell.
