66
Q

True or False: Innate immunity is fast acting and can phagocytize pathogens so quickly that you never even know your sick.

A

True

67
Q

True or False: Adaptive immunity is slow, all the time.

A

False, it is slow but if it is exposed more than once the speed will improve.

68
Q

Which immunity can recognize pathogens if priory exposed?

A

Adaptive immunity

69
Q

Immune cells communicated with each other and with other cells by secreting what?

A

Cytokines

70
Q

What are cytokines?

A

They are proteins or peptides that bind to receptors on neighboring cells stimulating a response.

71
Q

Cytokines attract immune cells to the site of?

A

infection.

72
Q

What are substances that bind to receptors on adaptive immune cells and stimulate an adaptive immune response?

A

Antigens

73
Q

What do b-cell’s differentiate into whenever antigens bind to b-cell receptors?

A

plasma cells. (they can also become memory be cells remember this)

74
Q

What are antibodies?

A

proteins that bind to antigens that stimulated their production.

75
Q

When antigens bind to t-cell receptors it activates the t-cell, resulting in the formation of?

A

cytotoxic t cells, and helper t-cells.

76
Q

What do cytotoxic t-cells do?

A

kill other cells via apoptosis or by producing cytokines.

77
Q

what do helper t-cells do?

A

secrete cytokines(also regulates t-cells, b-cells, and cytokines).

78
Q

Monocytes become what when they enlarge in the tissues?

A

macrophages

79
Q

Plasma cells and b-cells both produce what?

A

antibodies!

80
Q

Natural killer cells are classified as what immunity?

A

innate immunity

81
Q

True or False: Complement is a plasma protein that is inactive?

A

True

82
Q

Innate immunity:Complement forms a _ _ _, which produces a channel through the plasma membrane of the pathogen.

A

MAC (membrane attack complex)

83
Q

Innate immunity: What is an interferon?

A

they are proteins, produced by most cells, that interfere with virus production and infection.

84
Q

What are clones?

A

they are identical lymphocytes that are specific for a particular antigen.

85
Q

MHC class I: explain what you can about it to the best of your ability.

A

They present antigens to cytotoxic t-cells. So that if the antigen is foreign the cytotoxic t-cell can take care of it. If the antigen is a self antigen it will not stimulate the cytotoxic t-cell (normally). This is all intracellular.

86
Q

MHC class II: explain what you can to the best of your ability.

A

An extracellular antigen is ingested by endocytosis and is broken down. The MHC class II fuses with the antigen and takes it to the plasma membrane which then is on display for the helper t-cells to come take care of the problem.

87
Q

CD4 is associated with which cell?

A

Helper t-cell

88
Q

Activation of proliferation of helper t-cells: explain what you know to the best of your ability.

A

It is basically a continuing after MHC class II is calling the naive helper t-cell. The MHC calls it over with CD4. The helper t-cell then attaches to the MHC molecule and goes through a process that in the end creates a memory t- cell so we have a long lasting immunity, and eliminates the antigen via stimulation of cytokines.

89
Q

Activation of proliferation of b-cells: explain what you can about them.

A

Through a b-cell receptor the b-cell takes in the unprocessed antigen, and then processes it. The MHC class molecule then presents it to the helper t-cell, helper t-cell and cd4 bind to the MCH molecule. Helper t-cell stimulates b-cell which differentiates into memory b-cell and plasma cell. plasma cell kills antigen.

90

96
Q

What is primary immune response?

A

cytotoxic T cells.

99
Q

What does perforin do?

A

It forms a channel in the plasma membrane of a target cell.
