Q

what is an antigen?

A

any molecule that can trigger and adaptive immune response against itself or cell bearing it

-either pathogen itself or receptor on cell membrane of pathogen

Q

what happens when B cells and T cells both mature?

A

they migrate to secondary lymphoid organs/structures to form clonal populations

Q

what are clones at the point with B and T cells migrating?

A

naive lymphocytes that have not been exposed, have one specific surface antigen receptor. and are genetically developed

Q

what are immunoglobulins?

A

-2 types: B cell receptors and antibodies
-antigen recognized by B cell receptors and/or antibodies as part of activation stage

Q

what’s the structure of the immunoglubulin?

A
  • 4 chains (2 heavy and 2 light)
  • constant end with stem binding site (with Ig class, always the same)
  • variable ends with 2 of the same specific antigen binding sites (millions of different versions within an Ig class)

16
Q

what are adaptive immune responses?

A

specific lock and key, 3rd line of defense, slower but more ultimate defense

17
Q

what is part of the activation stage?

A

piece of antigen being combined with major histocompatibility protein (MHC) and being presented to T cell for recognition

18
Q

who has same MHC proteins

A

identical twins

19
Q

what are T cell receptor needs?

A

-helper T cells needs
-cytoxic T cells needs
-most regulatory T cells involve

20
Q

helper T cells need

A

antigen to be presented with MHC class 2

21
Q

what possesses MHC class 2?

A

macrophages, B cells, dendritic cells

22
Q

what do cytotoxic T cells need?

A

antigen to be presented with MHC class 1

23
Q

what possess MHC class 1?

A

most cells possess, erythrocytes do not possess

24
Q

most regulatory T cells involve…

A

antigen presented with class 2, small number with class 1

25
Q

are MHC proteins required for NK cells?

A

no, they have non-specific binding like innate

26
Q

what does exogenous mean?

A

antigen outside immune cell enters by phagocytosis

27
Q

what is the activation stage for adaptive immune response?

A

after recognition gives us clonal selection, activation gives multiple rounds of clonal expansion (proliferation and differentiation)

28
Q

what is proliferation?

A

increasing clonal numbers

29
Q

what is differentiation?

A

increasing clonal specialization

30
Q

all clones formed can recognize what?

A

specific antigen from initial clonal selection

31
Q

what is ultimately formed from the activation stage

A

effector and memory cells

32
Q

what are effector cells

A

cells that carry out current immune attack

33
Q

what are memory cells?

A

cells that are not active in current immune attack, rather stored for future encounters with same specific antigen

34
Q

what happens in the attack stage?

A

forms

cell mediated: no antibodies involved
antibody mediated: formed antibodies involved

35
Q

what is cell-mediated in attack stage?

A

no antibodies involved, especially with intracellular pathogens and cancer cells

36
Q

what is antibody mediated in attack stage?

A

formed antibodies involved, especially with extracellular pathogens
