🗑
Adaptive Immunity   show
🗑
ANTIBODIES   show
🗑
show The killing of antibody-coated cells by natural killer cells and leucocytes.  
🗑
show This is a reflection of the antibody-mediated humoral response and determines the relative amount of antibody in the serum.  
🗑
show Any substance that causes antibody formation and reacts only with its specific antibody.  
🗑
ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS   show
🗑
ANTISERUM   show
🗑
show This type of immunity results from vaccination.  
🗑
ARTIFICIALLY ACQUIRED PASSIVE   show
🗑
Autoantigens   show
🗑
show These cells manufacture specific antibodies.  
🗑
show Immune response mediated by T cells.  
🗑
CHEMOKINE   show
🗑
show A specialized T cell that destroys infected cells presenting antigens.  
🗑
show Produced when protozoa, fungi, bacteria, and viruses reproduce inside a body’s cells.

EPITOPES   show
🗑

show A specific antibody produced in vitro by a clone of B cells hybridized with cancerous cells.  
🗑
show The simplest molecular structure of a bivalent antibody.  
🗑
NATURAL KILLER CELL   show
🗑
NATURALLY ACQUIRED ACTIVE   show
🗑
show This type of immunity results from the natural transfer of antibodies from a mother to her infant.  
🗑
show Previously known as suppressor T cells, also interact with other immune cells and produce different cytokines than helper T cells.  
🗑
SECONDARY RESPONSE   show
🗑
show A type of lymphocyte that is responsible for cell-mediated immunity  
🗑
show The slow and limited immune response to a first encounter with an unfamiliar antigen  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
