Humoral Immunity Flashcards
Effector Functions of Ig Classes

Most Abundant = IgG = workhorseIgD and IgE are rarest.
Immunity to fetus — IgG
IgM always expressed first
IgG expressed during memory response Mucosa is IgA
[Antibody] vs. Time After Immunization

IgM vs. IgG after First Exposure


IgG
Opsonization = IgG
Complement = IgM and IgG
Hypersensitivity = IgE FC Receptors = Mass Cells and Basophils express them
IgD

IgA = Respiratory tract
Anaphylaxis = IgE
IgG Convalescent patient
IgA is Breast feeding
Complement = IgG
Process of Opsonization?
Ig Class?

What Ig are involved in Opsonization?







Fraction of Adult Level of Serum Immunoglobulins

Affinity of IgM vs. IgG

Physiological Roles of Ag-Ab Interaction

Neutralization

FC Receptors

IgE Role in Allergies

Immediate Hypersensitivity

Antibody Isotype and Effector Functions

Affinity vs. Avidity

IgM vs. IgG Affinity vs. Avidity

Ag-Ab Complex Formation

Antibody Titer

What is the Antibody Titer?

This is a titer for 1:512
Elisa
Elisa Assay. You’re looking for antibody against organisms.
You coat the well with HIV protein.
Add Test Antiserum

Western Blot

Isohemagluttinins

Blood Typing

Rh Disease




Coombs Test
Indirect Coombs Test
Direct vs. Indirect Coombs Test



Coombs Reagent
and
RhoGAM


Isohemagglutinins are IgM class which doesn’t cross the placental barrier so you don’t have those types of problems.
