-Defense
-Homeostasis
-Surveillance
Four major components of the Immune System
-Cells and tissues
-Monocyte-Macrophage Cell System
-T lymphocytes
-B lymphocytes
Which blood cells originated from the Myeloid progenitor
Mast cells, basophils, Eosinophils, Polymorphonuclear neutrophils, monocytes (dendritic cells, macrophage)
Which cells originated from the lymphoid progenitor?
-B lymphocytes
- T lymphocytes
- NK cell
Antibody found in the serum
IgG
Antibody found in the secretions.
IgA
Antibody found on the surface of T cells
IgM
Antibody found on the surface of B cell
IgD
Antibody found on the surface of Basophils and mast cells
IgE

NK cell
Is NK Cell part of the innate or adaptive immunity?
Innate immunity
CD markers for NK cell
CD16 and CD56
It is an incomplete antigen that needs to bind to a carrier to be considered as a complete antigen.
Hapten
The site for attachment of antigen
Epitope
The site for attachment of antibody
Paratope
A method of identifying lymphocytes using sheep RBCs
Rosette test
It is a marker that serves as a receptor for sheep RBCs in the Rosette test.
CD2
What is the size of an antigen to be considered antigenic
> 10,000 daltons
Glycoprotein antigens
HLA
Glycolipid antigens
ABH, Le, Ii, P antigens
Protein antigens
Rh, M, N antigens
