Deck 4 Flashcards
What is the characteristic that best defines the acquired immune response?
It exhibits immunological memory
Pattern recognition receptors (PRR) include which of the following?
Toll-like receptors
A fragment antigen binding (Fab) fragment
Binds antigen
The basic immunoglobulin (Ig) unit is composed of
Two identical heavy and two identical light chains
An isolated antigenic determinant that has the ability to react specifically with antibodies but cannot induce their formation is called
hapten

(An isolated antigenic determinant that has the ability to specifically react with antibodies but cannot induce their production is called a hapten. Superantigens are a class of antigens that lead to overactivation of the immune system. In particular, it causes non-specific T-cell activation, leading to polyclonal T-cell activation and massive cytokine release. Allergen is a substance capable of causing an abnormal immune response called an allergy. Antigen is the name for all molecules that stimulate the immune response.)
