Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?

In order to destroy the bacteria, they need to have a lot of lysosomes in them (lysosomes are a type of organelle that has chemicals that will kill the bacteria).

Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?
i dont know.....
Reply:The lymphocytes involved in adaptive immunity (i.e. B and T cells) differentiate further after exposure to an antigen; they form effector and memory lymphocytes. Effector lymphocytes function to eliminate the antigen, either by releasing antibodies (in the case of B cells), cytotoxic granules (cytotoxic T cells) or by signaling to other cells of the immune system (helper T cells). Memory cells remain in the peripheral tissues and circulation for an extended time ready to respond to the same antigen upon future exposure.








My answer would be exposure to antigens


Best of Luck!
