Immunity Notes Flashcards
Antibodies and antigen
Antigen is a foreign protein that simulates the production of an antibodies
Antibodies are protein that are specific to an antigen and are produced by the plasma cells
How can an inhibitor effect hiv replication
Person infected with hiv has hiv dna in their dna , therefore new hiv particles are still made however the reverse transcriptase is inhibited and therefore is unable to create new hiv dna , stopping the production of new hiv particles in high stops the destruction of helper T cells and the fore the immune system will still work
Questions invoking production of antibodies though infection or vaccine
MENTION THE B CELLS AND PLASMA CELLS
How can you diagnose AIDS
By counting T cells and aids related symptoms
Evaluate questions
FOR AND AGAINST
Monoclonal antibodies
Antibodies produce d from cloned plasma cells
Memory cells
Are used in secondary immunity and produce antibodies by differentiating into plans that secrete antibodies quickly
Investigation to test of drugs before testing them on humans
Test on healthy human cells and tissues for safety and repeat doses to see if the drug works
