Q

what is artificially acquired passive immunity

A

artificially made antibodies given to someone with rabies

17
Q

naturally acquired passive immunity

A

mom gives baby antibodies through breast milk

18
Q

artificially acquired active immunity

A

get vaccines - exposed to antigen

19
Q

naturally acquired active immunity

A

makes own antibodies

20
Q

what is an injectable form of antibodies given to a person exposed to a disease

21
Q

the clumping action of antibodies is called

A

agglutination

22
Q

what are colony stimulating factors

A

prompt bone marrow to produce needed blood cells

23
Q

which colony stimulating factor increases RBC production

A

Epoeitin Alpha (Epogen, Procrit)

24
Q

which increases WBC production

A

filgrastin (neupogen)

25
why are transplant patients more susceptible to infection
they are on immuno-suppressants so the organ doesn't get rejected - so their immune system is weakened
26
what is the name of the chemical messengers released by WBC's
cytokines
27
which one helps cells suppress viruses
interferons
28
why can't interferons be given PO
body (stomach acid) will destroy it
