CHAP 16 IG Flashcards
The only that can cross the placenta and help protect the new born during its first months of life
IgG
found in colostrum
IgA
Immuno found in basophils
IgE
Serve as antigen receptors and determine which specific antigen that particular B cell is able to respond to
IgD
Are the first antibodies to be formed in the primary response to antigens and provides protection in the earliest stages of infection
IgM
Ex : Incompatible blood
transfusions, Rh Incompatibility
and Myasthenia Gravis
what type of hypsensitivity is this
Type II
Ex : SerumSickness andautoimmune diseases ( systemiclupus erymatosus andrheumatoid arthritis
Type III
E. ALLERGY SKIN TESTING AND
ALLERGY SHOTS
TYP I
latex allergy is what type of test
TEST I
ANAPHYLATIC REACTIONS BELONG UNDER WHAT
type I
cytotoxic reactions
TYPE II
exposure to chemicals added to latex. A DTH or type 4 hypersensitivity
Allergic contact Dermatitis
common reaction. Dry, itchy, irritated
areas on the skin. Immune system is not involved
Irritant Contact Dermatitis -
Mantoux skin test is under what
TYPE 4
Usually observed 24 to 48 hours longer after exposure or contact
B. TYPE 4 HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS
Result in a deficiency in antibody production
INHERITED IMMUNODEFICIENCIES
Caused by drugs ( cancer chemotherapeutic agents ), irradiation or certain infections ( HIV)
ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCIES
if a person’s immune system is not functioning properly
Common cause is malnutrition. And also acquired and inherited immunodeficiencies
IMMUNOSUPPRESSION
antibodies fond in the blood
Humoral or circulating antibodies
Secretes cytokines TH1 and TH2
Helper T Cells
Primary function is to destroy virally infected host cells, foreign cells andtumorcells
Cytotoxic T cells
, these vaccines contains weakened pathogen and when injected it does not cause an infection
Attenuated Vaccines
should not be administered to immunosuppressed individuals because even weakened pathogens cold cause disease in these persons
Attenuated Vaccines
produced faster and more easily but less effective than attenuated because antigens on the deadcells are usually less effective and produce a shorter period of
immunity
Inactivated Vaccines
s can be injected safely to stimulate the production of an antibodies that are capable of neutralizing the exotoxins or pathogens
TOXOID
s the one that has been prepared from bacteria isolated from a localized infecti
Autrogenous
Is the one that uses antigenic ( antibody stimulating) portionsof pathogen, rather than using the whole pathogen
Subunit Vaccines /
Acellular Vaccines
