Immunity Flashcards
What are antigen
Antigens are protein which when in the body cause the body to release antibody
Hapten is
A small molecule that cannot elicit an antibody production
But can do it when combined with a larger protein
Adadptive immunity consist only of
Lymphocyte and their product
Macrophages
Basophils e
Eosinophils
Mast cells
Humoral immunity of the adaptive immunity is majorly controlled by
B lymphocyte
Cellular immunity of the adaptive immunity is majorly controlled by
T lymphocyte
Humoral immunity protect the body against ——- with what
Extracellular microbes with B lymphocyte
Cellular immunity protect the body against ——- with what
Intracellular microbes with T lymphocyte
Lymphoid oragan are divided into 2 namely
Primary or generative
Secondary
T cells are produced from what organ
Thymus
B cells are produced from what organ
Bone marrow
Primary lymphoid organ includes
Thymus and bone marrow
Secondary lymphoid organs include
Lymph nodes
MALT ( mucosa associated lymphoid tissue ) of the GIT
respiratory tract
Spleen
In the spleen B cells and T cells are found where
B cells are found at red pulp
T cells are found at white pulp
RAG 1 defeciency leads to
Inability to produce mature lymphocyte
Helper T cells does
Stimulating the production of B cells to produce antibodies
