Anitbodies Flashcards
This anti body / antigen reaction is a
Typical response to being infected by bacterium or virus
The infected individual is usually
I’ll for a few days before the antibody numbers are high enough to provide immunity
Once infected the body
Is able to produce memory lymphocytes
Memory lymphocytes will
Remain in the body for years
If infection occurs again
The memory lymphocytes will be able to produce antibodies very fast to stop it
Active immunity
Where the body produces antibodies used to fight infection
This type of immunity
Slower acting
Last longer time
Passive immunity
When antibodies are injected into the body
This type of immunity
Fast acting
Last short time
Lymphocytes
Has a specific marker on the surface identfies there microorganisms and produces a matching antibody that builds antigen caused microorganisms to clump together if the marker anit the same type it won’t stick
4 stages of phantosis
Attachment
Ingestion
Killing
Degradation
Phagocytes
When it is clumped together phagocytes will surround and engulf then the seacate digestive enzymes that distribute the microorganisms
Primary response
Person is often sick for a few days then when the antibodies are high enough it will provide immunity
Memory lymphocytes
Will remain in the body for years
Vaccines
Invoke the use of dead or mutifief pathogonds that are injected into the body
Vaccines what happens
The dead of modified microorganisms have the antigens on their surface that causes the body to produce theses antibodies to a higher level to prevent the individual form becoming ill
I’m vertigo testing
Testing the drug on live cells in the lab to see if they damage any cells if it does then it goes for feather testing if not no further testing will happen
