22
Q

What are the 5 outcomes of viral injury?

A
  1. Cell Lysis
  2. Apoptosis - of host cell as last resort defense mechanism
  3. Oncoviruses
  4. Persistent Infection - virus remains dormant for long period of time
  5. Immunosupression - infect/destroy immune system specific cells
23
Q

An Ulcer is an opening in the skin from the sloughing of necrotic tissue past the epidermis: True or False?

A

TRUE

24
Q

A Nodule is a benign skin growth at the top layer of skin: True or False

A

FALSE: a nodule is a solid tumorous mass deep in the dermis

A wart is a benign growth on the top layer of the skin

25
Q

What is the complement pathway activated by?

A

C1 binding to C-reactive protein on the pathogen surface

Allows C4 to attach and cleave into C4b and C4a parts

26
Q

What is the C3 convertase and C5 convertase factors of the alternative pathway?

A

C3: C3b-Bb
C5: C3b-Bb-C3b

27
Q

Which has the shorter lag phase, greater magnitude, and class-switched IgG, and IgG having been exposed for a long period of time? Primary or Secondary Humoral Immune Response?

A

Secondary Humoral Immune response

-in Primary: IgM doesn’t stay long

28
Q

Humoral Immunity is a part of classical immunity: True or False

A

FALSE - it’s a part of adaptive immunity

29
Q

What are the consequences of complement activation?

A

Lysis (MAC)
Opsonization (C3a)
Activation of inflammatory response (C3a + C5a)
Clearance of immune complexes (removal of particulate antigens)

30
Q

Which immunoglobulin cleaves into 2 parts? Pepsin or Papin?

A

Pepsin; Papin cleaves into 3 parts

31
Q

Define an epitope

A

An epitope is an antigen determinant

32
Q

Define a Paratope

A

Part of the AB that recognizes antigen (small region of antibody FAB region)
Types include: Antibodies (Ab), BCR’s, and TCR’s

33
Q

_________ & __________ recognize native protein antigens without processing or without MHC

A

BCR’s and Ab’s

34
Q

MHC I is only on ___________, and MHC II is only on ___________ (B-cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells)

A

T-cells, Antigen Presenting Cells (APC)

35
Q

MHC I is a part of the exogenous or endogenous antigen pathway?

A

Endogenous antigen pathways - Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte (CTL) recognizes complex of MHC I + peptide and kills infected cell

36
Q

What activated macrophages for DTH response?

A

CD4 + TH1 which allows peptide boding to MHC II

37
Q

What activated B-cells for Antibody Response?

A

CD4 + TH2

MHC II binds peptide

38
Q

What types of cells serve as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity, and activate naive T cells?

A

Dendritic Cells - stimulate adaptive immunity via the lymph nodes

39
Q

What types of cells are associated with ADCC (Ab dependent cell-medicated cytotoxicity)?

A

NK cells
Macrophages
Neutrophils
Eosinophils

40
Q

What type of cell responds to intestinal helminths?

A

Eosinophils

41
Q

What is a disease caused by the invasion and multiplication of a living agent in/on a host?

A

An Infectious Disease

42
Q

The invasion of an organism in/on a host (ticks, fleas, parasites)

A

Infestation

43
Q

A disease transmissible from one human/animal to another via direct or airborne routes

A

A Contagious Disease

44
Q

A disease caused by an agent capable of transmission by direct, airborne, or indirect routes form an infected person, animal, plant or contaminated inanimate reservior

A

A Communicable Disease

45
Q

Latent Period

A

Microbe replicating but not enough for host to become infectious

46
Q

Incubation period

A

Microbe replicating but not symptomatic

47
Q

What is a reservoir?

A

A habitat where an infectious agent lives, grows, and multiples (humans, animal, or environment)

They maintain pathogen over time from year to year/ generation to generation

48
Q

Pathogens can evade immunity for animals to become “susceptible again,” and re-infection can occur: True or False

A

TRUE

49
Q

Define Balanced Pathogenicity

A

When pathogens can cause infections with minimal symptoms
