6.7 Response to infection

Students should:
$i Know the mode of action of macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes. ii Understand the development of the humoral immune response, including the role of: antigen presenting T cells T helper cells and cytokines B cells clonal selection plasma cells antibodies. iii Understand the development of the cell-mediated immune response including the role of: antigen presenting cells T helper cells and cytokines T killer cells.$
$iv Understand the role of T and B memory cells in the secondary immune response. v Understand how immunity can be natural or artificial, and active or passive. vi Understand how vaccination can be used in the control of disease and the development of herd immunity. vii Understand the potential issues in populations where a proportion choose not to vaccinate.$
