4. Effecotr mechanisms of Humoral immunity: Elimination of Extracellular microbes and toxins Flashcards
What may happen with out immunity?
no innate?
no adaptive?
effector functions of Abs from what chain?
effector functions happen when?
Heavy chain constant region Fc of Ig molecules
Effector functions of Abs triggered ONLY after Ag binding
Effector functions of Abs
Ab effector functions by Fc portion
types and function?
isotype switching
change where?
Affinity maturation
causes what?
reason we do what type of treatment?
IgG half life
Fetal Ab?
how does this happen?
Neutralization of microbes and toxins.
(via Abs)
How Abs block infection spreading?
neutralization of toxins (Abs)
Virulence factors
Ab- mediated opsonization and phagocytosis
Ab of the IgG isotype coat (opsonize) microbes and promote their phagocytosis by binding to Fc receptors on phagocytes
Types of Fc receptors
FcgammaRI in phagocytosis and activation of phagocytes
What isotypes most efficient?
at what point in immune response?
FcgammaRIIb receptor
when does it start to work?
FcR mediated Ab feedback?
IgE-FcepsilonRI action?
how quick is response?
what kills?
FcgammaRIII receptor
causes what?
when does it happen?
The complement system
Consists of what?
