Q

how can humoral immunity kill infected cells

A
  • viral infected cells often display part of virus on infected cell surface

Q

26
Q

basis of immunization

A

projection provided by second immune response

27
Q

why are antigens artificially introduced into the body?

A

to generate adaptive immune response and memory cell formation

28
Q

how are immunizations carried out

A

vaccines - preparations of antigens from many sources

29
Q

active immunity

A

develops naturally when a pathogen invades the body and elicits a primary or secondary immune response
- actually exposed to antigen

30
Q

passive immunity

A

provides immediate, short-term protection
- conferred naturally when IgG crosses placenta from mother to fetus or when IgA passes from mother to infant in breast milk

31
Q

ex. of natural active immunity

A

infection

32
Q

ex. of artificial active immunity

A

vaccination

33
Q

ex. of natural passive immunity

A

maternal antibodies

34
Q

ex. of artificial passive immunity

A

monoclonal antibodies
- antibodies from immune animal injected into a non immune animal

35
Q

what are antibodies produced by an animal after exposure to an antigen products of

A

different clones of plasma cells

36
Q

monoclonal antibodies

A

can be prepared from single clone of B cells grown in culture
- identical
- specific for 1 epitope
- used in many types of medical diagnoses

37
Q

why are blood transfusions and tissue transplants sometimes complicated?

A

cells transferred from one person to another can be attacked by immune defenses

38
Q

what is done to minimize rejection of a transplant or graft?

A
  • use donor tissue with MHC molecules as similar as possible to the recipient
  • recipient takes medicines that suppress immune responses
39
Q

antigens on red blood cells

A
  • A - A antigen
  • B - B antigen
  • AB - A and B antigens
  • O - neither antigen
40
Q

what kind of blood antibodies exist in the body

A

antibodies to non self blood types

41
Q

allergies

A

hypersensitive (exaggerated) responses to antigens called allergens

42
Q

localized allergies

A
  • IgE antibodies produced after first exposure to allergen attach to receptors on mast cells
  • next time allergen enters body, it binds to mast-cell-associated IgE molecules
  • mast cells release histamine/inflammatory chemicals that bring about typical allergy symptoms
43
Q

acute allergic response

A

can lead to anaphylactic shock within seconds of allergen exposure

44
Q

anaphylactic shock

A

life-threatening reaction

45
Q

what can counteract an allergic response

A

injection of epinephrine

ex. of autoimmune diseases

A
  • lupus erythematosus
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
  • multiple sclerosis
48
Q

exercise and immune system function

A
  • moderate - improves function
  • exhaustion - leads to frequent infections
49
Q

effect of psychological stress on immune system

A

disrupts it by altering interactions of hormonal, nervous, and immune systems

50
Q

inborn immunodeficiency diseases

A

result from genetic or developmental defect in innate/adaptive defenses

51
Q

acquired immunodeficiency diseases

A

develops later in life due to exposure to chemical/biological agents

52
Q

how are some pathogens able to prevent recognition

A

change epitope expression through antigenic variation

53
Q

human influenza virus

A
  • mutates rapidly
  • new flu vaccines made each year
54
Q

what do human viruses often exchange genes with?

A

viruses of domesticated animals
- human immune systems then unable to recognize new viral strain

55
Q

latency

A

inactivate state of some viruses in a host

56
Q

herpes simplex viruses

A

can be present in a human host without causing symptoms

57
Q

human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

A
  • infects helper T cells
  • high mutation rate that promotes antigen variation - persists in host
58
Q

what happens over time to untreated HIV infection

A

avoids adaptive immune response and abolishes it

59
Q

what does HIV infection lead to

A

acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

60
Q

AIDS symptoms

A

highly susceptible to opportunistic infections and cancers that a normal immune system would usually defeat

61
Q

how does the frequency of certain cancers increase

A

when adaptive immunity is inactivated

A

15-20%

63
Q

what is human papilloma virus associated with
