• A T cell with a speci c receptor binds onto the antigen
• T cell divides through mitosis into T helper cells, Cytoxic and
memory cells
• Cytoxic cells release perforin which destroys cells surface membrane

Can you explain phagocytosis ?
• Phagocyte recognises the foreign antigens
• Cytoplasm moves around the pathogen , engul ng it.
• Lysosomes fuse with phagocyte vacuole , lyzozomes kill the pathogen
• The phagocyte then presents the pathogens antigens , activating
