17
Q

Passive Immunity

A

Immune products (antibodies) produced by an immune person are transferred to a nonimmune individual

18
Q

Two components of Adaptive/Acquired Immunity

A

Humoral immunity
Cell Mediated immunity

19
Q

Humoral immunity

A

B cell immunity (antibodies)
Control extra cellular pathogens
Defense against pathogens in body fluids

20
Q

Cell mediated Immunity

A

T cell immunity
Control Intracellular pathogens
Defense against abnormal cells and pathogens inside cells

21
Q

Innate Immunity

A

Born with
Present prior to exposure

22
Q

Adaptive immunity

A

Acquired or specific
Recognizes, eliminates, establishes long term immunity

23
Q

B cells

A

Mediated by antibodies present in different “humors” (body fluids)

24
Q

T cells

A

Learn to discriminate self from non self

25
Helper T
Most numerous 75% Stimulate both B and T cells
26
Cytotoxic T cells
Natural killer cells
27
Suppressor T cells
Suppress both T helper and cytotoxic cells
28
Memory T cells
Assure that there will not be a delay if the antigen returns
29
Types of T cells
Helper T Cytotoxic T Suppressor T Memory T
30
Effect of Aging
Immune function declines with advancing age T cell function declines (numbers do not)
31
Immune Responses
Exaggerated responses against environmental antigens (allergy)
32
Under active immune response
Immunodeficiency
33
immunodeficiency
Immune response is absent or depressed due to primary or secondary disorder
34
Primary Immunodefciency
Defects of T and B cells
35
Secondary Immunodeficiency
An underlying disease or factor that depressed or blocks the immune response
36
Iatrogenic Immunodeficiency
Induced by immunosuppressive drugs, radiation therapy, or spleen removal
37
Hypersensitivity Disorders
Increased immune response to the presence of an antigen that results in tissue destruction
38
Type I Hypersensitivity
Mediated by IgE Antigen is external Immediate hypersensitivity (vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, bronchoconstriction)
39
Type II Hypersensitivity
Antibody-dependent toxicity Body cells directly attacked by antibodies (body’s tissue recognized as foreign) Graves’ disease, myasthenia gravis
40
Type III Hypersensitivty
Immune complex hypersensitivity Antigen-antibody complex accumulation followed by destruction Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
41
Type IV Hypersensitivity
Delayed hypersensitivty Cell-mediated cytotoxicity Tuberculin (PPD) Response
