cells. They are listed in Table 7 together with other important
procedures of the model, implementing the features or processes
described in the preceding sections.
Two interacting entities can bind in a specifi c or non-specifi c
manner. In other words, if the interaction is subjected to the
binding of a membrane receptor (as in the case of B-Ag and
successive B-T interaction in Figure 41), the interaction is
specifi c, and it is unspecifi c otherwise (think, for example, of
F igure 41. A B-cell binds the antigen. After the antigen digestion ...
