Q

a soluble form of the antigen receptor that can be secreted by the B-cell

A

What is antibody / immunoglobulin (Ig)?

21
Q

an infected cell protein that displays a fragment of the antigen for white blood cells to recognize.

A

What is major histocompatibility complex (MHC)

22
Q

found in most cells, and calls cytotoxic T-cells that use toxins to kill the infected cell

A

Describe MHC Class 1

23
Q

found in dendritic cells and macrophages, which are called antigen presenting cells. They use Class II MHC’s to call helper T- cells that assist other lymphocytes.

A

Describe MHC Class 2

24
Q

cloning of lymphocytes in response to a binding an antigen

A

Describe clonal section

25
effector; memory cells
When exposed to an antigen a B or T cell will divide rapidly making _______ cells to attack and _______ \_\_\_\_to store incase of future invasion.
26
primary immune response
The clonal selection is the _________ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
27
about 10 to 17 days after infection
The Primary Immune Response peaks when?
28
upon another exposure to the same antigen, the reserved memory cells are called upon in greater numbers
Describe Secondary Immunne Response
29
response peaks 2-7 days after exposure and last longer
Secondary Immune Response peaks when?
30
secrete antibodies to bind to antigens in the blood or lymph
What do B cells do?
31
secrete proteins that kill infected cells
What do Cytotoxic T-cells do?
32
T- cells; MHC molecules
Cytotoxic T-cells must be signaled by helper ______ and/ or ___ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
33
antigen presenting cells (class II MHC)
What are Helper T cells activated by?
34
release cytokines
What do Helper T cells do?
35
call upon B and T cells to act
What do cytokines do?
36
clonal selection of B cells. Usually fights pathogens not in cells yet
Describe humoral response
37
the antibodies secreted can neutralize pathogens or make them targets for phagocytes
What is the main purpose of humoral response?
38
cytotoxic T-cells destroy infected cells
Describe cell mediated response
39
B-Cell and T-Cell
Helper T-Cells can call for what cells to act?
40
secondary
Active immunity is _________ response.
41
antibodies passive from mother to fetus can cause a secondary like response the first time a fetus is exposed to infection
Describe passive immunity
42
Passed across the placenta(IgG) and breast milk (igA)
What passes down passive immunity?
43
introducing an antigen into the body to elicit clonal selection
Describe vaccination
44
exaggerated responses to antigens. Can trigger mast cell to elicit a an inflammatory response
Describe allergies
45
Autoimmune disease
Sometimes the immune system turns against certain molecules naturally in the body. This is known as what?
46
DNA histones in breaking down cells
Lupus is against what?
47
cartilage
Rheumatoid Arthritis is against what?
