EXAM 4 Immune Memory and Vaccination Flashcards
the immune response ___ over time. antibodies developed during the ___ response provide protective immunity.
- improves
- primary
after an immune response, what happens to serup antibody levels over time?
they decline
compare the primary adaptive immune response to the secondary adaptive immune response over time
B cells and T cells produce ___ and ___ memory cells
central and effector
what are the 3 adaptive memory cells?
- memory B cells
- memory plasma cells
- memory T cells
- central and effector
where are B and T central and effector memory cells develop?
in secondary lymphoid tissues
where to B and T central and effector memory cells persist?
- bone marrow (memory plasma cells)
- secondary lymphoid tissues (memory B cells)
- peripheral tissues
- circulation
___ cells have a broad antigen response, while ___ cells have specific, restricted antigen response
primary effector, memory
___ cells require multiple activation steps and signals, while ___ cells are easily activated
primary effector, memory
___ B cells do not require target refinement, while ___ B cells must undergo target refinement (what are the two ways?)
- memory, primary effector
- somatic hypermutation and class switching
- they can only undergo somatic hypermutation once
clonal selection and expansion must occur with ___ cells, while only clonal expansion occurs with ___ cells
primary effector, memory
___ cells persist for long months and replicate, which provides ___, while ___ cells die after several days
- memory, long-term immunity
- primary effector cells
immune memory can persist for ___
decades
think about vaccinations
immune memory persistence is dependent on what? what does it not depend on?
- pathogen and exposure
- antigen persistence
immune memory persistence creates steady-state ___ levels
serum antibody
the secondary immune response activates ___ cells and inhibits ___ cells
- memory B cells
- naive B cells
what is are the differences between central memory T cells and effector memory T cells
what are the differences between primary and secondary adaptive immune responses?
the first attenuated live virus vaccine was against ___
cowpox
describe recombinant protein vaccines
- neisseria has factor H binding protein that binds factor H and hijacks it, inhibiting C3b and preventing the complement process
- anti-fHbp “fixes” complement, and the bacteria is then killed
