Q

Stage 2 in adaptive immunity. Destroys invader/isolates antigen. Presents the antigen to ________

A

Helper T cell

24
Stage 3 of adaptive immunity. Once T cells latch on to the antigen, it actives. Gets whole system's attention. Activated T cells activate ___________
T Cytotoxic cells and B cells
25
Cell mediated immunity
T cytotoxic cells
26
Antibody mediated immunity
B cells
27
Stage 4 of adaptive immunity. Activated cytotoxic T cells directly attack ________________
Intracellular pathogens and some cancer cells
28
These cells can quickly proliferate and differentiate into more active T cells and more _______ helper T cells.
Memory helper T cells
29
These cells transform into antibody making plasma cells.
B cells
30
Composed of 4 peptide chains. Have a Y shape. The stem is similar for each class. The ______ _______ gives an __________ it's specificity.
Antibody, variable region (antigen-binding region)
31
Antibodies belong to a group of glycoproteins called _______, so th ar also called _______________
Globulins, immunoglobulins
32
This inserts into the plasma membrane of the target cell in adaptive immunity and creates channels in th membrane. Protein released by cytotoxic T cell.
Perforin
33
Protein released by cytotoxic T cell granules that enters through the channels and destroys the microbes by creating holes in their plasma membranes.
Granulysin
34
_________ are good for neutralizing a bacterial or viral antibody, or a toxin agglutination and precipitation.
Antibodies
35
________ are good for enhancing phagocytosis which is called ___________
Antibodies, opsonization
36
_________ activate complement pathway
Antibodies
37
A series of blood proteins that work with antibodies. Encourages vasodilation and inflammation, antigen opsonization, and antigen destruction.
Complement system
38
Class if antibody. A monomer with two antigen binding sites. Most common. 80% of total antibody. Only class able to cross the placenta. Provides for long term immunity.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG)
39
a pentamer with ten antigen binding sites. Great activator of complement, but has a shorties response. The first antibody to appear in an immune response.
Immunoglobulin M (IgM)
40
a dimer with 4 antigen binding sites Present in breast milk. Prevelant in body secretions like sweat, tears, saliva, breast milk and gastrointestinal fluids. Cannot synthesize.
Immunoglobulin A (IgA)
41
a monomer involved in allergic reactions. | Comprises less than .1% of antibodies.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
42
a monomer with a wide array of functions. Some of which have a puzzle since it's discovery in 1944.
Immunoglobulin D (IgD)
43
injected with antigen. First responses remembers. Memory cells kick into activation when previous antigen enters body. Antibody titers are much hIgher and faster on the second response.
Immunological memory
44
immune response is compromised- can't produce antibodies as quickly as you used to....etc, antigens can take control.
Immunodeficiency
45
caused by HIV infection HIV destroys T4 cells/ they control the activity of t reg cells- suppress immune system. Thus immunodeficiency. Results in enhanced activity of t reg cells.
Aids
46
genetic mutation resulting in complete lack of immune system.
Sever combined immunodeficiency syndrome (SCIS)
47
lymphocytes not being able to tell if something doesn't belong to body. Immune system attack it's own body. Self/non self id breaks down. Rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, etc
Autoimmune diseases
48
allergies Mount immune response to non infectious agents Different categories of hyper. Based on type and severity of response. - can be bad for some people..
Hypersensitivity
49
uncontrolled growth of cells that fail to differentiate. Faking out other cells. Resulting mass if cells- tumor Generated by oncogenes within body's own DNA. Tumor cells generated by own DNA, so have "self" antigens. Tumor cells thus invisible to immune system.
Cancer
50
contract hepatitis A. Pretty conserved, if get, get on big antiviral. Get again, can fight off pretty quickly. Bumped into before, I can do it again. Gaining immunocompetence
Naturally acquired active immunity
51
baby receives antibodies from mom thru placenta and breast milk. IgG antibodies are transferred from mother to fetus across placenta, or IgA antibodies are transferred from mom to baby in milk during breast feeding.
Naturally acquired passive immunity
52
person receives vaccine of an attenuated (changed/weakened) pathogen that stimulates the body to form an antibody.
Artificially acquired active immunity
53
an injection of prepared antibody.
Artificially acquired passive immunity
54
With age, adult thymus tissue __________. Which leads to ___________ t helper cell populations and a ____________ specific immune response. ________ B cells respond and _________ of t cytotoxic cells. Age can ___________ immune response.
Atrophies, decreased, diminished, fewer, fewer, compromised
