Echinamide and the Immune System Other T cells (“helper T cells”) release special chemical messengers, calling other types of immune cells to the scene of attack and encouraging them to do their job. Once the mission is accomplished, another type of cell, the “suppressor T cell”, arrives and issues orders to stop the attack. Cell-mediated immunity is extremely important in T-cells destroy invaders providing resistance to infection by mold-like bacteria, yeast (including Candida albicans), fungi, parasites, and viruses (including herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr virus, and viruses that cause hepatitis). If a person is suffering from an infection by these organisms, it’s a good indication that their cell-mediated immunity is not functioning up to par. Cell-mediated immunity is also critical in protecting against the development of cancer, autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, and allergies. Not surprisingly, echinacea has been used to treat all of these conditions. The other major type of lymphocyte is the B cell. These cells are responsible for the immune response called humoral immunity. Like alert sentries, B cells recognize the specific types of foreign particles present, including bacteria, yeast and viruses. These foreign particles are referred to as antigens. In response to an antigen, B cells produce an antibody. Antibodies (also 41
T H E I M M U N E F A C T O R known as immunoglobulins) are special protein molecules that attach to antigens. If the antigen is on the surface of an invading organism (a pathogen, or disease causing organism), the antibody will bind to it and lead to its destruction. Each antibody must be tailor-made to fit the specific invader, so it takes a few days for B lymphocytes to crank out enough of them to be effective. In contrast, the cell-mediated response by T cells is immediate. Old Soldiers Keep Fighting Helper T cells and B lymphocytes have relatively long lives and excellent memories. The next time an invader tries to attack the cells, they remember how they mounted the previous defense. T cells send messages to B cells, ordering them to produce the same type of antibodies that worked before. Basically, this memory process translates into lifelong immunity and is the same Some T-cells have long lives mechanism by which vaccines work. Vaccines produce a simulated infection by introducing the antigen without a viable organism. The body mounts an attack just as if it was infected. However, unlike actual infections, many 42
