Use your notes to prepare for a quiz on the three levels of Immune System protection and explain how B-cells are activated by a bacterial pathogen
- Pathogenic bacteria are engulfed by a macrophages
- The macrophages display the bacteria's antigen on its cell membrane
- The macrophages find a B-cell that matches the bacteria antigen and activates that B-Cell
- The activated B-cell begins to divide rapidly
- The activated B-cells produce antibodies that clump the specific bacterial pathogen and kill them
- Some of the activated B cells are converted to memory B cells, ready to produce specific antibodies quickly in the event of a new infection by the same bacteria
