Cytotoxic T cells: type of white blood cell involved in the body's immune responses. It assists in killing cells that are infected or damaged in other ways.
B cells: cell involved in immune responses, responsible for killing antibodies. In humoral responses, they recognize antigens or pathogens that are circulating in the blood. It produces plasma cells, which then bear antibodies.
Antigens: toxic or foreign substances that induce an immune response. They are recognized by B cells.
Antibodies: a protein produced in response to a specific antigen. They recognize the presence of a specific antigen and then react in accordance to that. Because of memory cells, the second time that an antigen is recognized, there is a more efficient and effective immune response.
