This function was, until recently,thought to be an exclusive function of B and T-cells only

This cell recognizes target cells via class I MHC-antigen complexes

This is the lymphoid organ where Natural Killer Cells are produced

This serine protease is secreted from cytotoxic T cell granules and induces apoptosis in the target cell

This type of vaccine is composed of pathogens that can grow and replicate in the host but cannot cause disease

These two continents have shown recent increases in polio infections (name one)

What effector molecules are produced by CTLs and NK cells? (name three)

The lack of this receptor is the main way that NK cells detect potentially harmful cells

These cysteine proteases are the master orchestrators of apoptosis

This type of immunity occurs naturally when a mother’s IgG antibodies are passed to the fetus through the placenta

This agent is used to activate passive immunization against Black widow spider bites

A hybrid between a CTL and an NK cell, it primarily uses FASL to destroy target cells

Inhibitory receptors come from this diverse immunoglobulin-like family

These two membrane-bound proteins interact to form a synapse between cytotoxic T cells and target cells so that granule proteins can’t diffuse away from the cells

This type of vaccine often requires boosters to generate a strong enough immune response
