exam 2- lecture 1 Flashcards
dry eyes
xeropthalmia
this is a lab test to determine the level of a specific antibody in the blood
antibody titer
disease characterized by the formation of granulomas
granulomatous disease
disease characterized by injury of ones own tissues caused by a cell mediated or humoral response
autoimmune disease
these occur as a result of part of an individuals own body becomes antigens
autoimmune disease
stimulates WBC’s population growth
interleukins
dry mouth
xerostomia
this renders the antigen inactive
antigen-antibody complex
administered y injection
parenteral
immunity predominated by antibodies
humoral immunity
what is it called when antibody combines with an antigen?
immune complex
what are the specific immunoglobulins circulating in the blood serum?
IgG, IgM, IgE, IgA, IgD (gamed)
itching
pruritis
these produce a specific antibody needed to fight the antigen. They also consist of immunoglobulins, immune complex
plasma cell
antiviral actitives
interferon
what do lymphocytes produce and what are their functions?
lymphokines
change monocytes to macrophages
inhibit migration of macrophages so they stay in needed area
activate macrophages
enhance ability of macrophages to destroy foreign cells (phagocytosis)
B cell; lymphatic tissue that matures into plasma cells which produce antibodies
B lymphocyte
type of immunopathologic condition that involves deficiency in number, function, or interrelationships of the involved WBC’s and their products- AIDS
Immunodeficiency
these are the primary WBC’s involved in immune response, recognize/respond to antigens
NK cell-viral infections
Lymphocytes
protein molecule (immunoglobin) produced by plasma cells and reacts with a specific antigen
antibody
this defends the body against injury, particularly from foreign substances such as microorganisms
immune response
these travel to the thymus
T-Lymphocytes
the superficial layer of epithelium sloughs off when firm, sliding manual pressure is applied
Nicolskys sign
a hypersensitive state acquired through exposure to an allergen
allergy
What cells are involved in the immune response?
B lymphocytes (B cells)-eosinophils T lymphocytes (T cells)-Mast cells Macrophages- Natural Killer (NK) cells
what are the types of immunity?
active and passive
dissolution of intercellular bridges of the prickle cell layer of epithelium
acantholysis
