produce antibodies that enter the blood and react with antigen. | B-cells |
attack the antigen directly and are specifically against that particular antigen. | T-cells |
is the primary cell of the immune response. | Lymphocyte |
the lymphocytes that migrate through bone marrow become, and when they encounter antigens they are stimulated to develop into mature plasma cells that secrete antibodies. | B-lymphocytes |
these lymphocytes are responsible for humoral immunity. | B-lymphocytes |
the lymphocytes that migrate through the thymus gland and are capable of becoming sensitized to and recognizing specific antigens to which they attach directly. | T-lymphocytes |
antigens are involved in the rejection of transplants between individuals. | hisotcompatibility |
cells respond to only one specific antigen | B-cells |
cells can be found in the blood secondary lymphoid organs and some inflammatory sites. | Plasma cells |
antibodies or immunoglobulin’s | Ig |
levels of circulating ____ are usually a good indication of the degree of protection. | IgG |
a substance that renders bacteria susceptible of phagocytosis. | opsonin |
the process of opsonin-enhanced phagocytosis, is necessary because many bacteria have an outer capsule that resists phagocytosis unless antibody is produced against it. | opsonization |
is the major class of immunoglobulin in the immune response and is responsible for most of the antibody functions. | IgG |
the largest immunoglobulin and the first antibody produced during the initial or primary response to antigen. | IgM |
is located on the surfaces of developing B lymphocytes. | IgD |
is the least concentrate of any of the immunoglobbulins in the circulation and it is also the principal antibody in the allergic response and in the prevention of parasitic infections. | IgE |
is the predominant sercetory antibody. | IgA |
is to prevent the attachment and invasion of pathogens through mucosal membranes. | IgA |
attack antigens directly and destroy cells that bear foreign antigens and regulatory cells. | cytotoxic cells |
control both cell-mediated ad humoral immune response. | helper T-cells |
clonal diversity takes place in the thymus | T-cells |
clonal diversity takes place in the human bursal equivalent | B-cells |
are secreted by cells participating in the immune response and function as messengers, providing communication among antigen-presenting cells and various lymphocytes. | cytokines |
a particular group of cytokines are sent from one leukocyte to another, the function of these messengers is to enhance the response of lymphocytes and other cells to antigens and other foreign substances | interlukeins |
a type of lumphokine known to defend the body against tumor cell growth and viruses. | interferon |
