Crossword CPA #18 Flashcards
type of immune response carried out by T cells
cell-mediated
subsequent exposure to the same antigen from a pathogen that causes memory cells to respond quickly
secondary response
cell-cell contact between immune cells that are strengthened by cytokines secreted by T helper cells
immunological synapse
function of some antibodies; results in “clumping” when the antibody finds its correct antigen
agglutination
ie. injection that forces the body to make antibodies to the injected antigen to ensure that the body can make and secrete those antibodies years later if exposed to pathogen that has those exact antigens
artificially acquired active immunity
type of T cell that directly kills other cells; aka CD8
cytotoxic
cells that form all blood cells including leukocytes
hematopoietic stem cells
result in immunological memory and protection against future infections
active immune response
the way a body removes ALL B and MOST T cells that react to “self” antigens (some T cells remain and become regulatory T cells); results in apoptosis
clonal deletion
3D shapes of antigen segments that are what antibodies recognize and bind to
epitopes
randomly formed and results in the billions of different types of T cells that can each react to a different foreign antigen when bound to MHC
TCR
type of immune response carried out by B cells; aka antibody immune response
humoral
type of antigens produced when microbes infect host cells
endogenous
attribute of adaptive immunity; results in the ability to create multiple exact copies of particular immune cells
clonality
type of T cell that coordinates B and T cell response; aka CD4
helper T cell
there are 2 classes of these; class I is found on nucleated cells, class II is found on APC’s
MHC
first exposure to pathogen in which small amounts of antibody are made
primary response
ie. antibodies passes from mom to baby in womb or during breastfeeding; effective only from birth to first few months of life; body must learn how to make these antibodies later in development after antigen exposure
naturally acquired passive immunity
function of some antibodies; attracts NK cells microbe which trigger apoptosis of microbe
ADCC
cell suicide
apoptosis
over 1000 of these are preset in the body; concentrated in neck, groin, armpit, and abdominal regions; location of most B and T cells
lymph nodes
lymphocytes that mature in the red bone marrow; less than 15-30% of all lymphocytes in the blood
B cells
