2 main types of immunity
Natural, Acquired
Natural, innate, or native immunity depends on __________, __________, and __________
Species immunity, Racial immunity, Individual immunity
Resistance developed in response to stimulus by an antigen
Active immunity
Regulates cell mediated immunity and is responsible for controlling certain bacterial and viral infections
T lymphocytes
Differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies specific to the invading antigen
B lymphocytes
Attach to the invading antigen and cause its destruction by phagocytes and the complement system
Antibodies/Immunoglobulin
Immunity conferred by an antibody produced in another host
Passive immunity
3 types of immunizing agents
Vaccines, Immunoglobulins, Antisera
5 classes of immunoglobulins
IgM, IgA, IgD, IgG, IgE
Type of immunoglobulin found mainly in the blood and lymph fluid; is the first antibody to be made by the body to fight a new infection
IgM
Type of immunoglobulin found in high concentrations in the mucous membranes as well as in saliva and tears
IgA
Type of immunoglobulin which exists in small amounts in the blood; is the least understood antibody
IgD
Is the most abundant type of immunoglobulin; is found in all body fluids and protects against bacterial and viral infections
IgG
Type of immunoglobulin associated mainly with allergic reactions; is found in the lungs, skin, and mucous membranes
IgE
2 types of immunoglobulin preparations available for passive immunization
Normal human immunoglobulin, Specific human immunoglobulin
Is blood serum containing polyclonal antibodies and is used to pass on passive immunity to many diseases
Antiserum (plural: antisera)
Is an antibody with the ability to neutralize a specific toxin
Antitoxin
Is the protective antibody against Clostridium tetani, the bacterium that causes tetanus
