Directions:

Step 1: Create a Cell Profile Post

Each student will create a post under their assigned cell column. The post should include:

Step 2: Comment on Other Cell Profiles

Visit at least three other immune cell posts.
Leave a thoughtful comment as your immune cell.
Suggested prompts:
- “We work together when…”
- “I activate you when…”
- “If you were missing, I’d be in trouble because…”
- “We both respond to…”

Step 3: Add notes to your slides

Use the info from the Padlet to add notes to your PPT slides
- Cell name, function, innate/adaptive, activation signals, interactions.
You will need the information for the exam and for use all semester.

Team: Adaptive Immunity
Functions: Produce antibodies when differentiated into Plasma Cells, phagocytosis, and present antigen via MHC II. Important for producing artificial active immunity following vaccination.
Activated by: T helper 2 Cells that secrete IL-4. Triggers B cells to differentiate into Plasma cells to produce antibodies.
Works well with: T helper two cells, Dendritic Cells, and Phagocytes
If I do not function properly: Patients will be more susceptible to infection, phagocytosis will be less effective, and the patient will have reduced response to vaccines.
Increased B cells would indicate: Infection, Cancer, or Autoimmune Disorder

Cell Profile Content: (5 pts) Accurately and thoroughly includes all required elements: cell name, innate/adaptive, functions, activation signals, allies/interactions, dysfunction, implications of increased count.

Information is clearly written, scientifically accurate, and free from major grammar or spelling errors
Creativity & Visual Engagement: (2pts)
Includes a relevant and creative image, meme, or video that enhances understanding of the immune cell.
Comments on Other Posts (3 pts)
Thoughtful, in-character comments on at least 3 other immune cells, using suggested prompts or showing interaction/understanding of cell relationships.
