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.

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.
Well articulated , good illustration with example. The follow of the lecture is good. Slide presentation perfect and easy to follow through. Thank you.
Fantastic, super simple to follow, the ppt slides are gold for a quick review
Not only was the information vast, but it was concise enough to understand and follow along with. Peter Delves highlights the important parts that are very beneficial. Thanks.
