chapter three Flashcards
what lymphocytes are in the immune response
t cells and b cells and natural killer cells
what are the two types of b cells
b memory cells and plasma cells
what cell produces antibodies
plasma cells
iga
aids in defense against proliferation of microorganisms in body fluids
igd
activation of b cell
ige
involved in hypersensitivity or allergic reactions
igg
major antibody in blood serum passes through placenta barrier, serves as first passive immunity for the newborn
igm
involved in early immune responses
antibody titer
level of antibody in blood
what are the four types of t cells
t helper, t suppressor, t cytotoxic, t memory
t helper cell
increases function of b cells has cd4 cell receptor
t suppressor cell
carries cd8 cell receptor shuts down cell-mediated immunity near end of immune reaction
t cytotoxic cell
carries cd8 and attacks virally infected and neoplastic cells
nk cell
attacks and destroys foreign cells as soon as they appear
what is the function of marcophages
antigen-presenting cell and messenger between inflammatory and immune response
function of dendritic cells
antigen-presenting cell and it acts as a link between innate immunity and acquired immunity
what is a type of dendritic cell
langerhans cell
function of cytokines
communication with other immune system cells
