Slide 10: T-Cells
9/26/2016 T-Cells • When T-cells encounter the proper antigen, they start cloning themselves • Killer T-Cells make contact with antigen bearing cells and trigger them to commit apoptosis • T-Cells also receive regulating signals from the innate immune system • They destroy: • Cancer cells • Viral in
Slide 11: Mind-Body Connection
9/26/2016 Mind-Body Connection • Stress reduces immune responses, so children who are under stress are more likely to get sick • I’ve also discovered that self-esteem enhances immunity • Raising children in love, without violence is also critical to immunity Take a Break!
