A

Fas ligand

22
Q

cytotoxic T cells kill

A

major basic protein to kill parasitic worms

24
Q

involve in killing Plasmodia

A

IgM and IgM, complement

25
parasites hide in host cells
inaccessibility
26
parasites vary surface antigen expression
avoidance of recognition
27
Leishmania, T spiralis, and schistomes are capable of
immunosuppression
28
Leishmania, T. gondii, T. cruzi can all
live inside macrophages
29
methods of antibody neutralization of viruses
adsorption, penetration, uncoating, replication
30
why is virus neutralizatoon incomplete
virus aggregation or blocks incomplete antibody
31
what immunoglobulin is responsible for local response, including against viruses
IgA
32
most important response against viruses
``` cell mediated (T cell) cytotoxicity (CD8) -CD8 often produces IL-2 itself to increase its own prolif ```
33
gamma interferon is produced by _____ and is the same as ______
- T cells in antigen-dependent response | - macrophage activating factor
