Question
During skin infections, langerhans cells can take up antigens to present to these lymphocytes. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this type of immune cell that comes in “cytotoxic” and “helper” varieties, and develops in the thymus.
ANSWER: T cells [accept cytotoxic T cells or helper T cells]
[10h] Langerhans cells travel to lymph nodes to interact with T cells described by this word, which have differentiated and undergone central selection, but have not been exposed to their corresponding antigen.
ANSWER: naive [accept naive T-cell or Th0]
[10m] Langerhans cells are thought to be a specialized type of these antigen-presenting cells that act as messengers between the innate and adaptive immune systems. These cells come in “conventional” and “plasmacytoid” types, and are named for resembling the branched projections of neurons.
ANSWER: dendritic cells [or DCs or veiled cells; accept conventional dendritic cells or plasmacytoid dendritic cells or cDCs or pDCs; accept myeloid dendritic cells or mDCs; reject “dendrites”]
