Lymphocyte
T cells B cells
Bone marrow:
• Learn self from non-self
• Random recombination of
DNA to make surface
IgM
• Antigen independent
development
LYMPHOPOIESIS:
B CELLS
Secondary/peripheral
lymphoid organs:
• B cell matures fully in the
spleen: surface IgM and
IgD
• Then circulates around as
a naïve B cell
• Antigen dependent
multiplication and
differentiation

LYMPHOPOIESIS:
T CELLS
• Lymphocyte precursors
migrate from the bone
marrow to the thymus
• TCR/CD3 complex
• Positive selection
• Negative selection

HUMORAL VS. CELL-MEDIATED OVERVIEW
HUMORAL CELL-MEDIATED
Cells involved APCs, plasma cells, T cytotoxic and T
T helper cells helper cells
MHC class involved II I
Begins with:
Antigen-presenting cell internalizing antigen
• This can be a B cell, monocyte, macrophage, or
dendritic cell
• Sees an exogenous antigen, binds to it, and brings
it inside
• Breaks it down into pieces
• Presents the antigen on its surface coupled with its
MHC class II complex

Plasma cells
• B cells that receive certain signals
will differentiate (transform) into
plasma cells
• Plasma cells make and secrete
antibodies that will recognize
that same inciting antigen upon
subsequent exposures
• Plasma cells not normally found in
peripheral blood circulation – live
in either the bone marrow or
secondary lymphoid tissue
