2 main types of immunity (NA)
Natural, Acquired
Natural, innate, or native immunity depends on __________, __________, and __________ (SRI)
Species immunity, Racial immunity, Individual immunity
Regulates cell mediated immunity and are responsible for controlling certain bacterial and viral infections (Types of lymphocytes)
T lymphocytes
Differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies specific to the invading antigens (Types of lymphocytes)
B lymphocytes
Refers to immunity/resistance developed in response to stimulus by an antigen (Types of immunity)
Active immunity
Refers to immunity conferred by an antibody produced in another host (Types of immunity)
Passive immunity
3 types of immunizing agents (VIA)
Vaccines, Immunoglobulins, Antisera
5 classes of immunoglobulins (MADGE)
IgM, IgA, IgD, IgG, IgE
Found mainly in the blood and lymph fluid; is the first antibody to be made by the body to fight a new infection (Classes of immunoglobulins)
IgM
Found in high concentrations in the mucous membranes as well as in saliva and tears (Classes of immunoglobulins)
IgA
Exists in small amounts in the blood; is the least understood antibody (Classes of immunoglobulins)
IgD
Is the most abundant type of immunoglobulin; is found in all body fluids and protects against bacterial and viral infections (Classes of immunoglobulins)
IgG
Associated mainly with allergic reactions; is found in the lungs, skin, and mucous membranes (Classes of immunoglobulins)
IgE
Refers to blood serum containing polyclonal antibodies and is used to pass on passive immunity to many diseases
Antiserum (plural: antisera)
Is an antibody with the ability to neutralize a specific toxin
Antitoxin
Is the protective antibody against Clostridium tetani, the bacterium that causes tetanus
Tetanus antitoxin
2 types of immunoglobulin preparations (NH, SH)
Normal human immunoglobulin, Specific human immunoglobulin
Hepatitis A (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human normal immunoglobulin
Measles (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human normal immunoglobulin
Rabies (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human normal immunoglobulin/Antisera
Tetanus (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human normal immunoglobulin/Antisera
Mumps (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human normal immunoglobulin
Hepatitis B (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human specific immunoglobulin
Varicella (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human specific immunoglobulin
Diphtheria (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Human specific immunoglobulin/Antisera
Gas gangrene (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Antisera
Botulism (Human normal IG, Human specific IG, Antisera)
Antisera
Is a method of giving antigen to stimulate the immune response through active immunization
Vaccination
Is an immuno-biological substance designed to produce specific protection against a given disease
Vaccine
Made from live infectious agents without any amendment (Types of vaccines)
Live vaccines
