BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Marc Veldhoen (@Marc_Veld): Next, why do we need an adaptive immune response?The adaptive system has B cells and T cells for convenience.

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Marc Veldhoen (@Marc_Veld): B cells, like T cells, make their own receptor. When secreted we call it an antibody. But, they don't know what antibodies to make.

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Marc Veldhoen (@Marc_Veld): How do those CD4 T cells know to tell B cells which antibody to make, and their own function? That is done in the beginning, and depending on which PRR are activated. This ensures the production of cytokines, which provide a response “tailored” to the pathogen. → https://twitter.com/Marc_Veld/status/161250057895693926818:28
