---|---|
antigen | a molecule that reacts specifically with an antibody or immune lymphocyte |
Immunoglobins | glycoproteins, recognize and bind to foreign substances increase phagocytosis, nueutralizes toxins |
IgM | has five constant regions |
epitope | part fo the antigen that is bound by the antibody |
IgE | involved with allerigic reaction |
T helper cells | kill virus infected cells |
MHC class I proteins | present viral antigens when a cell is infected |
MHC class II proteins | are present on only immune system cells |
MHC class II proteins | present antigen to T helper cells |
MHC class II proteins | are found on the professional antigen presenting cell |
T cell dependant antigens | interact with plasma cells |
clonal expansion | happens only with B cells that produce IgE |
the cell-mediated immune response involves | MHC class I molecules, cytotoxic T cells, CD8 molecules, colonal expansion |
cytoxic T cells | recognize virus infected cells, activated by tumor necrosis factor, kills target cells by inducing apoptosis, Contain CD8 |
Opsonization | helps increas phagocytosis |
CD4 + cells are | T helper cells |
A plasma cell | a B cell that produces antibodies |
Passive immunity | occurs naturally from mother to fetus |
Passive artificial immunity | transfer of preformed antibodies |
Active natural immunity | occurs in response to infections or other exposures |
Active artificial immunity | occurs in response to vaccine administration |
vaccine | a preparation of living or inactivated microorganisms or viruses or their components to induce active immunity |
Attenuated immunixing agents | antigenic and can repicate, but are modified to be incapable fo causing disease under normal circumstances |
Inactivated vaccines | contain inactivated whole agents or subunits of the agent |
Recombinant vaccine | genetically engineered |
adjuvants | increase the intensity of the immune response to the antigen in a vaccine |
adaptive immunity | acquired throughout life |
Humoral immunity | mediated by B-lymphocytes |
activated in response to extracellular antigens | B-lymphocytes |
B-lympocytes | proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies |
Cellular immunity | mediated by T-lymphocytes |
T-cytoxic cells | destroy host cells that harbor intracellular agents such as viruses by inducing apoptosis |
T-helper cells | potential cellular and humoral response |
cell mediated immune response | involves T cells and their interactions with B cells |
Humoral Immune response | involve B cells and their products, the immunoglobulins or antibodies |
antigens | substances recognized as foreign by the components fo the immune response |
somatic Ags | "O"; of the body or endotoxin layer |
Capsular Ags | found in species with capsules |
Flagellar Ags | "H"; in motile species |
Exotoxins | toxins secreted by microorganisms into their external enviroment |
E. Coli O157:H7 | Somatic Ags |
Steptococcus pneumoniae | Capsular Ags |
E. Coli O157:H7 | flagellar Ags |
tetanus toxin | Exotoxin |
hapten | a molecule too small to cause an immune response |
hapten carrier complex | a hapten attached to a carrier molecule that makes it large enough to be recognized |
IgG | monomer |
IgM | pentamer |
IgA found in bloodstream | monomer |
IgA found in mucos membranes(secretory IgA) | Dimer |
IgE | membrane receptor molecule, active immunity to helminth disease, immediate hypersenstivity disease.responds to allergies and parasites |
causes the body to expel pathogens, through coughing sneezing, mucous production | IgE |
protects baby until immune system develops, passes from mother to fetus | IgG |
B cells | mature in bone marrow |
T cells | mature in thymus |
cell mediated immunity cells | T cells |
antibody-synthesizing cells | B cells |
Plasma cells | arise form B cells, to produce large amounts of antibodies |
found on all human cells except RBC | Class I MHC |
found principally on cacrophages and dendritic cells and are used by these cells to present antigen to the T cells | Class II MHC |
T-helper cells | carry the CD4 receptor and control immunoresponse |
T-cytotoxic cells | Carry the CD8 receptore and kill infected and cancerous cells |
T-Suppressor cells | carry the CD8 receptor and suppress the immune system, to avoid autoimmune reactions |
T-Delayed -type Hypersensitivity | carry the CD4 receptor and are involved in DTH |
allow the body to recognize self versus non self cells | MHC molecules |
Firtst antibody seen in a primary response to a particular antigen | IgM |
