1.2 (Quiz 1) Flashcards
microorganisms so highly pathogenic that they generally produce disease whenever they enter the host
Obligate pathogens
“Party Crashers”
Bacteria are (prokaryotes or eukaryotes)
prokaryotes
Fungi are (prokaryotes or eukaryotes)
eukaryotes
parasites are (prokaryotes or eukaryotes)
eukaryotes
___ are not cells and need the machinery of another living cell (either eukaryotic or prokaryotic) in order to replicate
Viruses
Very clearly non-self (Innate or adaptive recognition)
Innate recognition
PAMPs
Pathogen associated molecular patterns
Pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), (Innate or adaptive recognition)
Innate recognition
Evolutionarily conserved structures on pathogens that are recognized by the ___ immune system
innate
PRRs
Pattern recognition receptors
Recognized by Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), (Innate or adaptive recognition)
Innate recognition
More specifically non-self (Innate or adaptive recognition)
adaptive recognition
Specific molecule segments, conformations, or sequences (Innate or adaptive recognition)
adaptive recognition
Recognized by T-cell receptors if presented on MHC or B-cell receptors if extracellular (Innate or adaptive recognition)
adaptive recognition
plasma cell precursor
B lymphocytes
effector T cell precursor

Key Immunological Goals
Protect, Detect/Recognize, Recruit help, Eliminate/Tolerate, Remember
humoral immunity responding lymphocytes
B lymphocyte
humoral immunity effector mechanism
secreted antibody
block infections and eliminated extracellular microbes
humoral immunity function
cell-mediated immunity (phagocytosis in macrophage) responding lymphocytes
helper T lymphocyte
cell-mediated immunity (phagocytosis in macrophage) effector mechanism
cytokines -> activated macrophage
elimination of phagocytosed microbes
cell-mediated immunity (phagocytosis in macrophage) function
cell-mediated immunity (viral replication) responding lymphocytes
cytotoxic T lymphocyte
cell-mediated immunity (viral replication) effector mechanism
killed infected cell
kill infected cells and eliminated reservoirs of infection
cell-mediated immunity (viral replication) function
complement immune system (innate or adaptive)
innate
Phagocytes Digest what they have eaten then “present” ___
antigen to T cells
Severe, invasive infections with encapsulated (carbohydrate-coated) bacteria
Complement
doesn’t work
Soft tissue abscesses or lymphadenitis
Phagocytes don’t work
Main job is to make and secrete antibodies
B Cells
Opsinization, neutralization, complement activation
B Cells
Can secrete antibodies at or near the site of inflammation or can be distant
B Cells
Recurrent bacterial sinopulmonary infections (Sinusitis, Ear Infections, Bronchitis, Pneumonias) with bacteria
B cells and
Antibodies don’t work
Direct immune responses
CD4 “Helper” T cells
Kill cells infected with intracellular pathogens like viruses, fungi, etc.
CD8 “Cytotoxic” T cells
Control & modulate immune responses
“Regulatory” T cells
Inability to generate effective antibody responses, Severe viral and fungal infections, Autoimmunity
T cells don’t work
Facilitate communication/coordination of immune system
Cytokines & Chemokines
May promote larger systemic effects (i.e. fever)
Cytokines
Mediate cell attraction/migration of other immune cells via chemotaxis
Chemokines
First line of defense, Rapid activation/response, Immediately present
innate immune system
Physical and Chemical Barriers
innate immune system
Specialized Blood cells
innate and adaptive immune system
Broadly distinguish self from non-self
innate immune system
no memory
innate immune system
