64
Q

Alternative pathway is triggered by interaction among antigen and antibody complexes and complement proteins in plasma

65
Q

The first line of defense, such as our intact skin and mucous membrane, prevent the entry of microorganisms in the body.

66
Q

Complement proteins in the plasma can be activated by two pathways called direct and indirect.

67
Q

Both pathways converge on complement protein C3, which cleaves more complement proteins to initiates the formation of a membrane attack complex (MAC), which allows the binding of bacterial membrane with antibodies and makes phagocytes to engulf them.

68
Q

Humoral immunity is the same as cellular immunity, provided by cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

69
Q

Immature lymphocytes released from bone marrow are essentially identical. Whether a lymphocyte matures into a B cell or a T cell depends on where in the body it becomes immunocompetent. In humans, the B cells mature in the bursa found in the neck while T cells mature in the thyroid gland.

70
Q

Secondary immune response occurs upon re-exposure to the same antigen. Sensitized memory cells respond within hours. Antibody levels peak in 2 to 3 days at much higher levels than in the primary response. Antibodies bind with greater affinity (strongly), and their levels in the blood can remain high for weeks to months.
