Q

Interferons (IFNs)

A

-triggered by viral infected cells
-enter neighbor cells
-neighbor cells produce antiviral protein to block viral reproduction

Q

benefits of moderate fever

A

liver and spleen secrete iron and zinc
increases MBR, speeding repair

22
Q

Humoral immunity

23
Q

Cellular immuinty

24
Q

Important functions of Complete Antigens

A

immunogenicity- stimulates lymphocytes and antibodies
reactivity- the ability to react to the product
being able to trigger a response and its working

25
Haptens
small molecules that are not harmful by themselves, harmful when attached to body protein
26
Antigen-presenting cells (APCs)
Present fragments of antigen to be recognized by T cells dendritic cells macrophages B cells
27
2 type of lypmphocytes
B lymphocytes (B cells)- humoral immunity T lymphocytes (T cells)- cell-mediated immunity
28
B cells mature
in red bone marrow
29
T cells mature
Thymus
30
T cell function
destroy foreign cells
31
B cells produce?
Plasma cells
32
Plasma cells
secrete antibodies
33
Immunoglobulins
-proteins secreted by plasma circulate in blood, lymph, and other bodily fluid -capable of binding specifically with antigen detected by B cells -antibody binding facilitates destruction of antigen
34
IgM
activates complement
35
IgA (secretory IgA)
in mucus, milk, saliva, help prevent pathogen entry
36
IgD
functions as B cell receptor
37
IgG
crosses the placenta barreir
38
IgE
allergy and parasitic infections, cause release of histamine
39
Neutralization
inactivation of antigen
40
Agglutination
Clumping of antigens
41
Precipitation
Attaching antigens to each other to facilitate phagocytosis
42
Complete fixation
antibody body binding to antigen and activated complement
43
Primary humoral response
1. Clonal selection 2. 3-6 days to figure which b cells will match 3. antigen finds receptor that will bind with it 4. Clone B cells 5. B Cell become plasma cells making antibodies 6. become memory cells
44
Secondary humoral response
- occurs when re-exposure happens - response happens faster, within hours - levels peak at 2-3 days at higher levels - antibody level can remain high for weeks to months
45
Active humoral immunity
you make the antibodies naturally- response to bacteria or virus artificially- response from vaccine
46
Passive humoral immunity
you received antibody naturally- fetus from placenta, baby from moms milk artificially- injection of serum
47
Vaccines targets?
only one type of T helper cell, fail to establish cellular immunological memmory
48
Two type of T cell surface receptor
CD4 & CD8, play a role in interactions with other cells
49
CD4 when activated becomes
helper T cells
50
CD8 becomes?
cytotoxic T cells
51
No T Helper cells means?
no immune response
52
Cytotoxic cells
attack and kill other cells release perforins
