Immune System Flow Chart

PathogenDisease causing agent

1

MacrophageMove to site of infection and

ingests bacteria and debris

2

T-CellThe killer T cells serve to then prevent the replication of the virus.

The helper T cells activate an infected cell of the immune system so that it is able to cure

itself.  The basic function of a helper T cell is to stimulate the macrophages and focus other immune cells onto the infection.  Another important function of the helper T cells is to aide in the activation of B cell proliferation so that more antibodies can be produced.

The antibody then binds to the bacteria making them easier to ingest by white cells.
