Download Lecture Overview
00:01 So, let's have a look at the cells of the adaptive immune response. 00:05 Helper T-cells, as their name suggests, help other cells in the immune system. 00:11 They're particularly important in helping activate macrophages, activate cytotoxic T-cells and activate B-cells. 00:19 Regulatory T-cells suppress other cells of the immune response. 00:24 They have the opposite activity if you like, of the helper T-cell. 00:28 Helper T-cells help, regulatory T-cells suppress immune responses. 00:33 Cytotoxic T-cells are the adaptive response equivalent of the natural killer cell of the innate response, in that they kill infected cells. 00:45 And B-cells and their fully differentiated progeny, the plasma cell, produce antibody molecules.

Love the entire lectures by Professor Peter Delves. Explain the concept in such a simple way. So easy to follow. Clearly explain the things that usually confuse the students. And the ppt slides are fantastic summary.
Very clear lectures that flow seamlessly with easy to remember high yield points. Very easy to follow.
- Comments: please give examples for PRR & PAMPs and would have been useful if explained role of MHCI & II and CD4, Antigen/antibody in more detail. Thanks
Dr. Delves is very clear in his explanations of the immune system and is able to distill the complex nature of the immune system into a digestible series of lectures for students just beginning their understanding of the immune system.
