FINAL EXAM CHP. 18 Flashcards
Can phagocytose: (4)
Dendrite cells
Macrophages
Neutrophils
B cells
First adaptive vaccination:
Small Pox
Antigen stimulates:
Antibody production
B-cells: (3) **
- Mature in bone marrow
- Humoral immunity
- Produce antibodies and can become memory cells
- Can phagocytose
T-cells: (3) **
- Cannot phagocytose
- Stimulate other immune cells to kill cells
- Cellular immunity
- Mature in thymus
Different mutations on B cells (variable)=
Different antibody binding sites on B-cells
C regions on antibody binding site:
Constant (dont change)
and has structural foundation
5 classes of immunoglobulins:
IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM
IgG (3)
- Enhance phagocytosis and circulates bacteria (permeable)
- Can pass BBB
- Half life= 23 days
- 80% of serum AB the blood
IgM: (4)
- Not permeable due to large structure but first AB produced when infected
- Agglutinates any microbe
- Exposure to any pathogen causes up regulation of IgM in response to infection (HSV)
- Half life= 5 days
- 5-10% of serum AB
IgA:
- Prevents pathogen from attaching to mucosal membrane
- Half life= 6 days
- 10-15% of serum AB in the tissue
IgD:
- On B cells that causes immune response
- 0.2% of serum AB
- Half life= 3 days
IgE:
- Parasitic infection or allergic reaction
- Up regulates eosinophils
- 0.002% serum AB
- Half life= 2 days
Activation of B cells:
- IgM and IgD on surface
- T dependent antigens
- T independent antigens
T independent antigen activation: ?
Binding of B cell to antigen-> causes upregulation of antibodies
Humoral T dependent upregulation of B cells: antigen presenting/extracellular
Antibody on the surface of the B cell binds to the epitope on the surface of pathogen-> B cell takes the antigen inside to process it-> cuts it up-> adds it to MHC class II fragment-> placed on surface of B cell-> presents as MHC class II to immune system-> T helper cell (CD4) has T cell receptor on surface specific to the presentation-> MHC class II binds to T helper cell when there is a match-> causes release of cytokines and activates B cell to do 1.) clonal expansion to produce memory B cells through mitosis and 2.) Become antibody secreting plasma cells to release antibodies that are excreted into extracellular matrix to bind to antigen
