Storyboard-Text
- Macrophage
- Pathogen
- To start the response, the Macrophage cell encounters a pathogen floating in the blood and eats it.
- Hello there! It's Bill Nye and I'm here to teach you all about the Humoral response part of the Acquired immune system!
- Helper T cell
- Next, the Macrophage presents the antigens to the helper T cell.
- Antigens
- Helper T cell
- The Helper T cell interacts with the antigens, then activates the B cells.
- B cells
- The Memory B cells remember the antigen so that they can fight off the pathogen faster the next time they encounter it.
- B cell
- The B cells then differentiate into Plasma B cells and Memory B cells.
- Memory B cell
- Plasma B cell
- Antibodies
- Plasma B cell
- The antibodies tagging the pathogen's antigens prevent the pathogen from entering a cell and it makes it easier to find and destroy using the macrophage.
- Pathogen
- While the Memory B cell does it's job, the Plasma B cell is tagging the pathogen with antibodies.
- In the end, everything comes back to the macrophage which eats the pathogen destroying it.
