This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: intro - lymphocyte life stages, cytokines activate T-lymphocytes, cytokines activate inflammation, effector cells: differentiated progeny that produce molecules to eliminate antigens/microbes. lifespan: days are effector T-lymphocytes (helper T-), cytokines activate B-lymphocytes (proliferate), plasma cells secrete antibodies, plasma cells call granulocytes and macrophages, cytokines activate macrophages, effector cells: differentiated progeny that produce molecules to eliminate antigens/microbes. lifespan: days are granulocytes and macrophages, granulocytes and macrophages participate in innate and adaptive immunity, antigens activate naive cells lifespan: wks or months B-lymphocytes (proliferate), antigens activate naive cells lifespan: wks or months Helper T-lymphocytes (proliferate), effector T-lymphocytes (helper T-) call granulocytes and macrophages, effector T-lymphocytes (helper T-) secrete cytokines, Helper T-lymphocytes (proliferate) generate memory cells lifespan: years, B-lymphocytes (proliferate) differentiate to plasma cells, memory cells lifespan: years are inactive until stimulated by antigens, Helper T-lymphocytes (proliferate) differentiate to effector T-lymphocytes (helper T-), effector cells: differentiated progeny that produce molecules to eliminate antigens/microbes. lifespan: days are CTL's kill cells directly, effector cells: differentiated progeny that produce molecules to eliminate antigens/microbes. lifespan: days are plasma cells, B-lymphocytes (proliferate) generate memory cells lifespan: years
